What is GlobeTrotter?

The LawLogix GlobeTrotter system is ideally suited to corporate in-house legal departments.

Many medical and technical recruiting firms and universities have also used our integrated forms and case management tools and online client interfaces to substantially reduce their case processing overhead costs.

Data Security

Because LawLogix takes the protection, availability and privacy of your data very seriously, we have developed systems with world-class resistance to viruses, worms, and hacker attacks. By utilizing the same next generation server technology as the U.S. Army, our system is not susceptible to Windows based viruses or worms. If you plan to maintain your own in-house server or another SaaS without redundant servers, co-location systems (in different geographic areas), and guaranteed up-time, you are more likely to experience down time and catastrophic loss of data.

Further, unique log-on and very customizable security features for every user, including an audit trail and user-tracking log, assist in your internal control of your data. Cases can be simultaneously assigned at several levels including paralegal, attorney, and partner. With LawLogix, you can assign various security privileges to your staff and monitor all file activities with comprehensive audit trails.

Secure Messaging

GlobeTrotter contains a breakthrough feature that solves the true underlying (and almost unmentionable) gap in security that most practitioners face with respect to client communications: unencrypted email. We solve this problem entirely using a (patent pending) design that does not require the cumbersome use of encryption by your clients. It is this kind of programming expertise that puts us in a class of our own.

Control Your Data

GlobeTrotter allows you to have a complete communication docket on all clients which includes phone calls, incoming/outgoing emails, calendar events, meetings, reminders, documents and much more. Our trademarked OnDocs™ document storage system, online client interfaces, reminders system and complete communication docket will help you meet every deadline, reduce client case status inquiry calls, let you work from any location via the internet and essentially eliminate the age old problem of "misplaced files".

Additionally, you have complete control of your data, allowing you the ability to back up your data on to your own server - anytime.

Immigration and I-9 Compliance Integration

LawLogix is the only vendor that provides both customizable state-of-the-art I-9 and Immigration online technology allowing U.S. employers to electronically prepare and store I-9s and when applicable, store documentation of employment verification for foreign national employees.

Money Back Guarantee

We are so confident that you will like GlobeTrotter^SM that we offer a money back guarantee. If at any time, should the service be discontinued because of dissatisfaction with the performance of GlobeTrotter^SM, a refund of fees may be requested under our Money Back Guarantee per the terms of service agreement.

This Money Back Guarantee allows you to see for yourself:

1. Why the leaders and trendsetters in immigration law (e.g., Ira Kurzban, Fortune 500 companies, top 5 banks, US government agencies, universities and non-profits) are switching to LawLogix.
2. And why they are reporting lower case processing times (some as much as 48%) and costs due to better efficiency and employee satisfaction with GlobeTrotter^SM!

We make this offer, as we would hate to see you go with the wrong system, only to come back to us a few months later after wasting hundreds of hours and thousands of your hard earned dollars on the wrong system (e.g., a cheaper system that turns out to be a "penny wise, pound foolish" decision).
