K2 Helps Shine Lawyers Transform Its Client Onboarding Experience and Operational Efficiency

Faced With Changing Client Demands and Shifting Market Forces, Shine Lawyers Embraces Intelligent Process Automation to Deliver Customer-First Experiences and Reduce Costs

K2, the leader in intelligent process automation, announced that Shine Lawyers, an Australian law firm that specializes in class action and civil damages lawsuits, has implemented K2’s intelligent process automation platform with UiPath’s robotic process automation, to help the law firm drive operational efficiencies, reduce costs, and transform the client experience.

Shine was focused on reducing legal complexity and wanted to find a way to simplify its client on-boarding process. Originally, every potential new client was taken through a manual Q&A process via the call center, to gauge whether they had a viable lawsuit. These Q&As often took the better part of 30 minutes – which was a substantial time commitment, given that this was not necessarily time the firm could bill for. First, not all inquiries lead to viable cases; and second, Shine offers all services on a no-win, no-fee basis, which means the more time they spent vetting leads, the more it cost the firm.

“We are in an industry that is very traditional in its approach to day-to-day work. There is a significant time burden driven by all of the paper-based processes,” said Luiz de Almeida, CIO at Shine Lawyers. “We dared to be different and swept the globe looking for partners who could help us disrupt the legal industry. We knew we had something when we discovered the true power of intelligent process automation and the impact it can have on delivering powerful client experiences.”

By leveraging K2 and UiPath, Shine was able to automate the initial customer experience and dramatically reduce the amount of manual work involved in the new client inquiry and onboarding process. Additionally, there’s no need for legal professionals to get involved until an appointment is booked at which point the lawyer receives comprehensive and up-to-date information on the case. Within the first eight weeks, the new online client inquiry and onboarding process delivered $290K (AUD) in new customer bookings.
