Ellis Jones are a leading independent law firm based in the South of England. With over 180 users across 6 offices around Bournemouth and London, the firm provide a full range of legal services. Having been with their previous software provider for many years, Ellis Jones wanted to further streamline their processes, whilst assisting administration. Their need for a solution to offer ease of use, while improving connectivity between users and software led them to the PracticeEvolve suite.

Leading up to 2020, the firm recognised their disparate systems were leading to time-consuming manual processes which were inefficient and costly to the business.
