We’ve undergone our second major overseas expansion by opening Jayva MidAtlantic LLC in Washington DC this month. This new division is the result of the continued strengthening of our strategic relationship with LEAP and increased take-up of LEAP’s software across the Eastern regions of North America.

At Jayva, our mission is to help law firms work more efficiently and prepare for the future.

This week marks two years since myself and two UK Jayva team members headed to Boston to find our first US office space, start recruiting and get certified to deliver implementation consultancy for LEAP US. I’ve stopped to reflect about the many experiences we have had during that time.

Every business, at some stage, upgrades their systems or changes their processes to meet new business requirements. And changes need careful planning to maximise the return on the investment. Training can make or break an implementation. We explore the interrogative questions that any trainer should consider when formulating a realistic and appropriate training plan.

Is your case or practice management system (CMS/PMS) not living up to expectations? Not getting value for money? Considering going elsewhere? Wait: Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The new SRA Standards & Regulations came into effect on 25th November. Were you ready for the big switch?

Our American division, Jayva US Inc, has achieved Gold ProAdvisor status for the QuickBooks accounting system.

When making a decision to change your practice management software, one of the things which can get brushed over pre sale is how your data will be converted. You’ll need to convert your data and documents from one system to another, and this can be a fairly laborious task. Systems vary greatly and often expectations about what “data conversion included” means can have wildly differing results. Mapping data can be a challenge which requires specialist knowledge, but at the very least, an understanding of what is included or out of scope is a must.

We’ve expanded our recently launched American division, Jayva US Inc., with two key hires. Matthew Dagle joins as Implementation Consultant and Robert Bailey as Implementation Consultant & Project Manager.
