Do you want to reduce costs but maintain quality, continuity, confidentiality and trust?
Offshore your secretarial services to our staff based near Cape Town in South Africa. They carry out all Underwoods Solicitors digital dictation work accurately and efficiently.
We have been working with our staff in South Africa for over 10 years and have a tried and tested system which we offer to other law firms in the UK.
Our South African Staff are trained in the English legal system and are used to our accents! They are employed directly by Underwoods Solicitors and therefore comply with all SRA requirements just like any other employees of solicitors.
With little time difference between the countries and English as a first language it is a natural fit. We communicate with our staff everyday via Microsoft Teams and spend time with them in South Africa several times a year for training and supervision.
Our staff in South Africa work with and have training on the Proclaim system and already use SpeechExec and this is compatible with almost all voicemail/recording devices/software.
