How good are you at tracking conflicts of interest in your practice? TimeSolv can make sure that any conflicts are accounted for by associating related parties to either clients or matters, making it easy to find conflicts before they become an issue. Today’s Tip of the Week looks at how to establish related parties and associate them to a client in TimeSolv.

  • Go to the Clients>>Settings>>General sub tab
  • In the Conflicts & Related Parties section (near the bottom of the page), enable the Enable Conflicts Search? check box
  • Enter the desired related party custom field label in the Related Party Custom Field Label field
  • Enter the desired relationship custom label in the Relationship Custom Label field
  • Click the Save button
  • Go to the Clients>>Settings>>Related Party Types sub tab and click the Create New Related Party Type link. Enter the required data and click the Save button to save the related party type
  • Go to the Clients>>Settings>>Relationship Types sub tab and click the Create New Relationship Typelink to create a new relationship. Enter the required data and click the Save button to save the relationship type
  • Go to Clients>>Related Parties link and click the Create New Related Party link to create a new related party. Enter the required data and click the Save button to save the related party
  • Go to Clients>>Related Parties link and drill into the related party’s Company/Last Name. Scroll down to go to the Relationships section. Click the Create New Relationship link to create a new relationship. Enter the required information and click the Save button to save the new relationship.
  • Go to the Clients>>Conflict Search link to search for conflict of interest.

Note: The conflict search is performed with a new party, such as when  a prospect contacts the firm. Enter the name of the new person in the Conflict Search and determine if this person was involved with an existing client, which could result in a conflict of interest.
