These will be delivered using a fully integrated solution aligned to The Law Society’s WorkSmart project, which is focused on modernisation by bringing people, processes and technology together.

We look forward to developing a long-term partnership, which enables The Law Society to focus on its member’s needs whilst trusting in Mitie’s expertise and innovative technology to deliver all its document management requirements.”

“The Society conducted a very detailed and competitive tender involving leading specialists from the document management sector. Mitie offered a great level of expertise, technology and really understood our needs which set them apart. We look forward to welcoming them as a supply chain partner at The Law Society.”
