3 Instruction & Triage / In-house Assistants Executive Summary Many In-house legal teams are looking for an easy way to capture accurate activity data which will help them ensure that the right work is done by the right people, in the right place and at the right price, whether the work is undertaken internally or externally The barriers to deploying such tools include cost, time, technical complexity, and adoption by lawyers and other legal team members To address these challenges Riverview Law has productised its proven instruction and case management processes, which it uses to deliver managed legal services to global corporations, into two Virtual Assistants Instruction & Triage and In-house Assistant: Cost: The Instruction & Triage Assistant is free for up to eight legal team members so that in-house functions can test the power of these tools. The Inhouse Assistant costs a fixed price of 1,400 / US$2,100 pa for up to 10 legal team members. A nominal annual charge is made for business users to aid wide deployment Time: The Foundation level Assistants can go-live in one working day and the Professional version within one working week. Data capture and all reporting is automated Technology: The technology is proven, secure, and intuitive and easy to use Legal Team Adoption: Post deployment legal team members manage cases in the same way that they currently do 3

4 Instruction & Triage / In-house Assistants What problems do these Assistants solve? Instruction & Triage Assistant I need to manage the work coming into the function and triage it to the right person. I need to know what type of work is being handled, where it has come from (individual and business unit), what its risk profile is and how long it has taken. I need accurate data so that I can plan and make sure that the right work is done by the right people, at the right price whether this work is undertaken in-house or by a third party. In-house Assistant In addition to managing and triaging instructions coming into the function (this Assistant has all the functionality of the Instruction and Triage Assistant). I also need a case management tool, document management and version control capability, more granular case status and enhanced reporting. I also want, in the Professional version, to tailor the tool to my way of working and brand it to my organisation. 4

5 Pre-configured workflows, software and dashboards How do the Assistants solve these problems? They solve these problems by taking the proven Riverview Law operating model and core workflow and productising them in these Assistants At its core the pre-configured Foundation workflow reflects a simple and effective operating model: (i) Case opening: by the business and/or the legal team depending upon deployment; (ii) Instruction management: to ensure complete instructions; (iii) Triage: so that the work is handled by the right team/person; (iv) Case management: with all case notes and documents in one place; (iv) Case Status: how long was the matter with legal, the business or with a third party; and (v) Case closing: so that the elapsed time of matters, by worktype is captured This model is underpinned by auto-generated dashboards that are easy to interpret 5 Business User Submits Instruction Instruction and Triage and In-house Assistants Core Workflow Model Triage to Legal Team Member (Legal Case Opening) Case Management Legal Case Closing Dashboards Legal Team Member Captures Instruction The instruction wizard can be deployed to the business or can be managed by legal A legal team leader or administrator can allocate a case to a team member Case notes, document management, re-assign case to other team member, case status...

6 Pre-configured workflows, software and dashboards How do the Assistants solve these problems? In the Foundation versions it is the combination of intuitive software, automated data capture and easy to read dashboards (Overview, Team Leader and Team Member), plus the ability in the Professional version to tailor the Assistant to your organisation, that helps us help you solve these problems (see Appendix 1) 6

7 Five steps to Go-Live How easy are these Assistants to take live? Once you have decided to purchase a Virtual Assistant our Customer Service Centre will support you as you roll-out the tool to your legal team and, if desired, your business users. The Foundation Level Assistants can be live within one working day of completing the Configuration Form. Typically the Professional Level Assistants can be live in one working week. There are five straight-forward steps to taking your Assistant live: Step 1 Account set-up Step 2 User set-up Step 3 Assistant Configuration Step 4 User communciations Step 5 Go-live Call our Customer Service Centre and we will set-up your company account for the Assistant you wish to buy Once your account is setup we will send you an easy to complete Configuration Form which asks you for (i) your legal / business users, (ii) your business units / departments or however else you are organised and (iii) where you want the Assistant hosted (UK / USA). We will also send you a detailed User Guide On receipt of the Configuration Form we will tailor the Assistant to your business units and set-up your User profiles When we have configured and tested your Assistant we will advise you accordingly and provide you with a standard set of communications that you can tailor and send to your Users. These communications advise Users that they will soon be provided with access to the Assistant, why it has been put in place and how they can make the most of it When you have advised our Customer Service Centre that all your Users have been contacted we will take the Assistant live and all Users will receive an automated go-live and link to the Assistant. For security purposes all Users will need to change their temporary password the first time they access the Assistant 7

8 Minimising Change What will my legal team need to do differently? These Assistants can be deployed to business users and the legal team, or just within legal To ease adoption and implementation, some customers start by deploying to the legal team first and then extending to the business a few weeks or months later For legal team members the Assistants are flexible to allow you to minimise any changes at your end so that you still receive all the benefit of the management information and dashboards: (a) Deployed to business users If the Assistants are deployed so that business users complete the initial instruction form then the changes for legal are: (i) all instructions are received in a consistent form; (ii) the matter will need allocating to a team member (either by a legal team leader or a legal administrator); and (iii) to capture the duration of each matter the legal team member allocated the case will need to close the case. (b) Deployed to legal team members only (i) in addition to the above a legal team member will have to capture the instructions using the simple drop down and text fields in the tool We know from our own experience that these simple disciplines are easily adapted to by legal teams when they see insight and data provided by the dashboards 8
