As the Indian financial services industry continues to experience exponential growth, the intricate process of debt repayment and resolution remains complex. The traditional approach to legal case and matter management faces issues such as high case pendency, overburdened courts, and huge costs. However, the emergence of legal technology solutions presents a promising solution to these challenges.
The domestic LegalTech industry is estimated to be $380 million and likely to grow at 35% annually over the next few years, driven by the need for automation, digitization and efficiency enhancement in legal processes. Reports indicate that 54-57% of Indian companies intend to transform their legal processes, reflecting the growing demand for streamlined and efficient legal operations.
The advent of innovative technology solutions like the Credgenics Litigation Management Solution (LMS) offers a promising path forward. This comprehensive system automates legal collections processes. It provides a 360-degree, data-driven approach to optimize litigation tracking, reporting, and analysis for recoveries. These advancements streamline financial dispute resolution, reduce the need for court intervention, and speed up settlements. As online legal case management platforms gain traction, they are significantly enhancing the efficiency of debt recovery processes, contributing to greater stability in the Indian financial system.
Challenges in Traditional Litigation Management
Lending and financial services companies face challenges in managing the complex process of debt repayment and resolution. To overcome these challenges, they must understand the hurdles and potential impacts. Here, we break down common traditional litigation management challenges:
Boosting Efficiency: Traditional systems inefficiently handle complicated processes, consuming more time and resources and slowing down overall operations.
Manual Documentation: Maintaining accuracy in manual paperwork can be very difficult and error-prone.
Tracking Advocate Performance: Evaluating the effectiveness of advocates is challenging due to the lack of standardized metrics to track and measure their performance.
Monitoring Legal Processes: Tracking legal processes manually can lead to overlooked, crucial steps, causing delays and a loss of visibility into the progress of complex legal matters.
Improving Case Searches: Locating specific legal cases online is often tedious and time-consuming, requiring a significant investment of time and effort from legal professionals.
Centralizing Data: Without a central data repository, collaboration and management become difficult. This makes it challenging to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously and hinders clear visibility into the status of projects due to the lack of centralized reports and dashboards.
Online Resolution Challenges: Despite the availability of online solutions, managing arbitration cases remains challenging without a centralized platform, encompassing tasks from sending out notices to holding video conference hearings.
Updating Cases Promptly : Delays in receiving case updates leave stakeholders uninformed, highlighting the essential yet challenging task of keeping cases meticulously updated.
