Litify

This means that firm members can typically access Litify from anywhere with an internet connection. When they need to use Litify, they enter Litify credentials into a Litify website and are able to access all their data from there.

Personal injury practice management systems are highly optimized for the needs and workflows of personal injury law firms.

​

In Litify's backend, documents often have illegible file names like "1357219.pdf". Universal Migrator will automatically humanize these names to familiar ones, like "Motion for Private Process.pdf", ensuring firm members see the same human-readable names post-migration as they do when viewing documents directly through Litify.

The Migration Specialist will need an Administrator username and password into Litify in order to extract your data.

Because data is extracted from Litify via the internet, the migration can be run from any suitable location.

A member of the firm will need to complete a small spreadsheet mapping users from Litify to users in the new system.

Firms migrating from Litify tend to have tons of unused custom fields. For an optimal migration experience, a member of the firm should identify any unnecessary fields that can be pruned as part of this migration.

When Litify stores emails, it keeps key information like to/from/subject/body. This isn't an original email but it is very useful when looking at case timelines and maintaining records of correspondence.

Inside of Litify, users have the ability to store phone call notes/logs that keep track of who was on the call and what was discussed. This information can be backed up and transferred to compatible systems.

The Migration Specialist is the person who will be performing this migration. They may be a member of Universal Migrator's own Internal Migration Team or any IT professional who has completed the Universal Consultant training program.

The Firm Administrator is a member of the law firm who can serve as a dedicated point of contact, make decisions, and answer any questions the Migration Consultant may have. This person should be readily available and is typically the managing partner or office manager of the firm.

​

DocRio is a document management system that is frequently integrated with Litify. Firms using Litify are often not aware they may also be using DocRio.

With certain vendors, submitting a Notice of Termination/Non-Renewal can prompt a shift in cooperation: some will restrict or revoke export and backup capabilities, or limit the volume of data you're able to download, making migration more difficult.
To guard against this, best practice with any vendor, including Litify, is to withhold notice until you've been fully live on your new system for at least 30 days. In practice, this means your migration should be complete approximately 45 days before your notice deadline.

In Litify, nearly every field is a custom field. As a result, firms migrating from Litify tend to accumulate an excessive number of custom fields that need to be unified, pruned, or standardized.
