London, 28 November 2023 – Smokeball is officially launching in the UK giving legal professionals access to innovative and integrated solutions through its cloud practice management platform.
The highly anticipated debut will take place at Legalex2023, where Smokeball is set to revolutionise the legal tech landscape in the UK.
Until now, UK legal professionals in smaller firms have been limited in their ability to access a deeply connected platform providing transparent end-to-end solutions specific to a firm’s areas of practice. According to a recent study by The University of Manchester, University College London and The Law Society, more than a third of solicitors sampled said they do not use law tech, with an overwhelming acknowledgement of productivity benefits it brings, yet a lack of confidence in using it. With its ability to increase firm and revenue growth whilst also enhancing client experiences, it’s critical that firms prepare now for the future.
Smokeball's beautiful cloud-based software empowers smaller law firms to manage compliance, elevate their operations, improve efficiency, and enhance their professional standing by delivering exceptional client experiences and streamlining their processes. With Smokeball, law firms can focus on the legal work they are passionate about, while leaving the unbillable hassles behind.
"At Smokeball, our mission is to amplify the productivity of our clients by offering innovative and practice-area specific solutions.", said Hunter Steele, CEO and Founder at Smokeball. "We are dedicated to propelling law firms into the future, and our cloud-based solutions are designed to unlock the latent revenue in their businesses."
