UK Law Firm Roythornes Chooses 3E in the Cloud
Top 200 UK law firm Roythornes has chosen the cloud version of 3E®, the market-leading financial and practice management solution from Elite, as the foundational technology platform to support and enable its ambitious future.
Founded in 1934, Roythornes is a UK-based regional law firm with five strategically located offices across the Midlands and East Anglia, with a team of more than 170 legal professionals and around 300 staff in total. It offers recognized expertise to commercial and private clients, with a strong focus on food and agriculture, rural estates, renewables, and charities with services including commercial and residential property, planning, litigation, employment, family and private client, personal injury, and debt recovery.
To support the firm’s continued growth and evolution, Roythornes needed to take a major step forward in terms of its financial and practice management platform. By choosing the cloud version of 3E, the firm will improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of its financial operations, and be able to rely on a truly best-in-class and future-proof technological foundation for many years to come.
The firm will also have better access than ever before to key management information through the deployment of 3E Data Insights, enabling rich interactive reporting that provides timely, valuable information for better and faster decision-making. In addition, the open API architecture of 3E in the cloud will enable seamless interoperability with many of the firm’s other systems and infrastructure, including iManage Cloud.
More widely, Roythornes will now be supported by a fully managed service provided by Elite, powered by the Microsoft® Azure® platform and offering cloud confidence with nearly unlimited scale, 24/7 monitoring, and advanced security that is unmatched in the industry.
“We evaluated the market extensively and found one clear winner in 3E, the single most architecturally advanced and secure financial and practice management platform available for law firms,” said Jonathan Swan, IT Director at Roythornes. “3E in the cloud is not just a lift-and-shift, but a true SaaS offering which was the right fit for our firm’s cloud-first strategy.”
"The level of financial information which is easily available in 3E is impressive, and that will enable us to simplify reporting and streamline the process significantly,” added Sam Elkin, Partner and Finance Director at Roythornes. "It was critical for us that we moved to a platform that provided the firm with the most comprehensive functionality available to enable us to run the business effectively, both now and down the road as we continue to scale. Moving to 3E in the cloud gives us that confidence for the future."
For its implementation of 3E in the cloud, Roythornes will be supported end-to-end by Elite Premier Delivery Partner Helm360, a leading legal technology provider with more than 700 employees worldwide and decades of experience in implementation of best-of-breed legal technology solutions such as 3E.
“From our initial discussions, it was clear that Roythornes is a forward-thinking firm that values collaboration and transparency, which aligns perfectly with our approach,” said Bim Dave, CEO Designate at Helm360. “Their commitment to excellence and innovation resonates deeply with our team. This synergy will lay the foundation for a strong, trusting partnership, ensuring a successful outcome that surpasses expectations."
