Galbraiths also uses leading edge technology to the advantage of clients. At the forefront of electronic banking, the firm has twice been used by the ASB Bank as one of the first law firms in New Zealand to make use of the bank’s Online Fastnet Business Professional Trust product.
As a result of ongoing electronic banking enhancements, Galbraiths clients can access funds to which they are entitled with the minimum of delay. The firm also uses CCH’s Lawbase software to manage and control trust accounts.
“This software provides a complete practice management package together with the generation of reports to ensure all client monies are promptly and accurately dealt with,” Michael says. “We also utilise the KeyTrack system of simultaneously communicating with clients, land agents and other interested parties by automatically generating email and text messages at the various stages of residential property sales and purchases to keep them right up to date with the stage reached in the transaction.”
Proud of its reputation for being approachable, helpful and meticulous in all its dealings, Galbraiths Lawyers offers impeccable credentials and references.
