An app developed by a leading North West lawyer has been acquired by a technology group.
Access Legal, a division of the Loughborough-based Access Group, has acquired inCase, an award-winning mobile app that was one of the first to pave the way for clear communication between legal professionals and clients on a mobile device.
Access Legal said the deal boosts its strategy to offer “unrivalled” capability and service to legal practitioners and law firms. It will add it to existing products on case and practice management software, legal learning and compliance, conveyancing and property services, cloud hosting solutions and HR and finance tools.

inCase has been used by over 3,300 legal professionals and supported over 230,000 law firm clients over the last 12 months. The app aims to increase fee earner productivity by making client communication quick and easy, and freeing up up lawyers’ capacity to focus on clients.

He said: “We’re delighted to combine our joint passion of customer experience and support so firms can add more value to their clients. Given its market reputation, Access Legal is the perfect partner for us and the acquisition will also help accelerate our capabilities to maintain a market leading solution alongside offering growth opportunities for our people in a collaborative client centric culture.”
