February 25. 2014 Chrome River Selected to Automate Field Fisher Waterhouse Expense Reporting and Invoice Automation

LOS ANGELES, February 25, 2014 -- Chrome River, a leading provider of expense management and supplier invoice processing software, today announced that Field Fisher Waterhouse LLP, a full-service leading European law firm, has selected Chrome River EXPENSE and INVOICE as the expense management system to automate the firm’s corporate expense reporting and invoice processing.

 

Field Fisher Waterhouse is a European law firm with market leading practices in many of the world's most dynamic sectors including Energy, Financial Services, Government & Public Services, Hotels & Leisure, Life Sciences, Media, Telecoms and Technology. In addition, they have a Serious Injury practice with a strong reputation for working with claimants in medical negligence cases. The company has more than 400 lawyers working with large businesses like Pearson, Vodafone, BP, Citigroup and Accenture, but also with private wealth and social enterprises as trusted advisers, providing highly commercial advice based on an in-depth understanding of the markets in which they compete. The firm has offices in Brussels, Hamburg, Paris, London, Munich, Manchester, Shanghai and Palo Alto.

 

Field Fisher Waterhouse previously used a paper-based, manual expense claim process that was labor-intensive, duplicative and time consuming. They were looking for an easy-to-use paperless solution that would automate their manual approval and routing workflow process across multiple offices. They also wanted a system that would easily integrate with their Elite practice management system. 

 

“After assessing our own workflow product internally and evaluating all of the major expense management suppliers, which included multiple comprehensive demonstrations and some very informative site visits, Chrome River became the clear stand-out,” said Ian Le Masurier, financial controller at Field Fisher Waterhouse. “Chrome River has an excellent understanding of the legal market, which is validated by the fact that they call 50% of the top Global 100 law firms customers. Another plus in our decision-making process was their comprehensive knowledge of our Elite practice management system. Automating our manual expense management process will reduce firm costs and provide timing-savings to all involved.”

 

“We’re pleased to add a leading European law firm like Field Fisher Waterhouse to our growing European customer base along with the recent addition of Taylor Vinters, one of the elite law firms operating internationally, and Dentons, United Kingdom, a leading global law firm,” said Alan Rich, co-founder and CEO of Chrome River Technologies. “Our continuing international expansion further validates that our solution meets the needs of organizations worldwide including the rigorous client billing practices and policies of global law firms and professional services firms. Our growth in Europe is one of our top priorities for 2014.”
