A Boston law firm enhanced its client onboarding process with automated workflows & dynamic forms

Immigration law can be intricate, forcing firms to often grapple with the challenge of managing diverse and complex client information. Each visa application, be it H-1B, I-129, or L-1A, demands a unique set of documents and data, influenced by variables such as dependents, marital status, and country of origin. Traditional intake methods often fall short, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and potential compliance issues.​

Recognizing these hurdles, a prominent Boston-based immigration law firm sought to revolutionize its form intake process. Collaborating with RevX, they aimed to streamline information collection, enhance data accuracy, and ensure secure handling of sensitive client details. This case study delves into how tailored technological solutions can transform complex legal processes into efficient, scalable operations.​

The immigration law firm encountered several challenges in its client intake process:

• Diverse Documentation Requirements: Collecting a wide range of documents such as personal identification, financial records, educational certificates, and work experience details.
• Variable Client Scenarios: Adjusting information collection based on factors like dependents, country of birth, and marital status, which complicated standardization.
• Inefficient Processes: The manual and time-consuming nature of the intake process led to inefficiencies and potential errors.
• Security and Compliance Concerns: Ensuring that sensitive client information was securely stored and accessible only to authorized personnel.
• Scalability Issues: The existing processes were not equipped to handle the firm's growing client base effectively.

RevX conducted a comprehensive review of the firm's information collection processes and identified areas for improvement. They developed a customized solution featuring:

• Tailored Dynamic Forms: Created 16 unique, user-friendly forms with:
 
• Field Validation: Ensured correct data entry (e.g., standardized date formats).
• Dynamic Fields: Displayed additional fields based on user responses (e.g., adding fields for dependents if applicable).

• Automated Workflows: Implemented automations to:
 
• Create client folders with specific naming conventions upon form submission.
• Generate and name PDF files containing form responses.
• Rename all attachments based on form type and applicant's name.
• Save attachments directly into secured folders, ensuring appropriate access control.

The implementation of customized forms and automated workflows led to:

• Increased Efficiency: Streamlined the intake process, reducing time spent by attorneys on information collection.
• Improved Accuracy: Minimized errors through field validation and dynamic form fields.
• Enhanced Compliance: Ensured sensitive information was securely stored and accessible only to authorized personnel.
• Scalability: Freed up valuable resources, allowing the firm to handle a growing client base effectively.
