Practice Technologies SmartRules Catches Fire In Its Debut Year

Procedural research and compliance tool for lawyers sees breakaway growth in its maiden year.

Santa Monica, California (PRWEB) January 8, 2004 --
Practice Technologies, Inc. reported that its procedural compliance tool SmartRules had a breakaway debut in 2003. Originally only available as part of PTIs RealPractice suite, SmartRules was first offered separately in January 2003, in response to strong market demand. PTI reported that SmartRules exceeded growth projections for 2003, strictly through word-of-mouth sales and referrals. Numerous major national firms adopted SmartRules in its first year, including Latham & Watkins, Littler Mendelson, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker, Quinn Emanuel and others. In addition, SmartRules is used by a host of major regional and mid-market firms.

We are thrilled to be working with some of the finest firms in the country", said Rudolph DeFelice, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Most sales have been referrals from customers. As former lawyers, we find that particularly gratifying." DeFelice added that the Companys plans to expand distribution in 2004 should accelerate the reach of SmartRules considerably. Given SmartRules growth in its first year, with virtually no sales team, we expect a breakaway year in 2004 as we increase our focus on sales and marketing."
SmartRules ensures compliance with procedural and court rules when drafting and filing legal documents. Many lawyers regard using SmartRules mandatory as a risk management and cost-effectiveness measure. SmartRules is available by subscription at www.SmartRules.com.
