ECFX Notice works with these systems and more, or independently if you are not using one of them. Click here for a full list of current software integrations

Does your firm have cases in federal court? ECFX Notice eliminates duplicate PACER fees.  

Often, multiple people with different roles at a firm – paralegals, legal secretaries, and attorneys – download documents from the same ECF notice. This multiplies not only the time wasted with these mundane tasks, but also increases the associated costs (such as PACER fees that kick in after the first free look). With ECFX Notice, everyone on the case team receives a single notification and a single download formatted in the manner you prefer. 

Improve Client Service 

Clients appreciate responsiveness and proactive updates on their matters. Returning calls and providing timely responses to emails keeps clients informed and shows the firm prioritizes client needs. In addition, keeping clients proactively apprised of case developments without constant prompting builds confidence. With technology eliminating tedious and time-consuming manual tasks and barriers, single-location firms can rapidly respond to clients, share key information, and focus on providing the clarity, advocacy, guidance, and peace of mind that builds enduring trust and satisfaction.

Secure Your Data

How We Protect You

ECFX stands firmly in agreement with the position of federal and state courts when it comes to safeguarding the confidentiality of your documents. Unlike other providers who adopt an open-source approach and freely share your court notices with other firms, ECFX Notice proactively ensures the utmost security and privacy for your valuable information.

Think of ECFX Notice as an extension of your firm’s secure environment; like your file storage solution, case management system, and email server. Your documents are fully protected from unauthorized access with cutting-edge encryption technology. No documents are ever shared, and you always retain complete control over them. ECFX Notice has consistently met the security standards of the world’s largest law firms, reaffirming our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest data protection standards.

Attorney Training Not Required

No Need for Dedicated IT

ECFX has you covered. The onboarding team at ECFX knows how to make it quick and easy to get set up and connect you with your courts. Best of all, ECFX Notice requires NO attorney training.

We believe one size never fits all, and no automated workflow solution should require you to sacrifice flexibility. ECFX Notice won’t change how you currently operate, significantly increasing adoption by attorneys and staff.

Manage multiple storage sites - ECFX Notice can manage multiple storage locations across departments and locations – including CMS, DMS, file repositories, and share folders (on-prem and cloud) – while ensuring complete consistency and accuracy.

Secure - ECFX Notice securely handles sealed documents through credentialing. Documents remain encrypted at rest and in transit, separately encrypted and walled from other firms and users.

Enforce naming conventions – Once set up initially, ECFX Notice will automatically match your naming conventions and ensure consistency for the entire firm. Conversely, with manual processing of ECF notices, ensuring that documents are routinely and properly named every time is virtually impossible.
