Dear Clients, Associates and Friends,
Timeframe and Swerdlove Consulting Group are pleased to announce the merger of operations to create a single global entity. This will allow the full range of our resources to be available to clientele worldwide.
The new combined firm will operate as Swerdlove Consulting Group in North America and Timeframe in Asia Pacific and Europe. It will be headquartered in Boston MA and Fremantle in Australia. Our combination unites two market leaders in Practice Management Consulting.
What does this mean for you?
- A broader and deeper range of unique products to address specific requirements not available from other vendors.
- A commitment to innovation and specialization in best-of-breed applications, ensuring your next-generation technology solutions.
- Resources available worldwide for enhanced time-sensitive project delivery and broader skills.
- A financially strong partner with a long-term strategy for growth.
Our goal is to continue our clever solutions to our current markets while we expand our consulting depth. The established product roadmaps for our existing solutions will be enhanced with new opportunities identified by our combined client base.
Timeframe and Swerdlove forged a strong global alliance this past year, and our announcement to operate as one formalizes the relationship in response to the needs of our clients. Your existing sales, consulting, and support contacts remain unchanged, so you can use the same communication channels with which you are accustomed.
We are privileged to serve 116 clients in more than 13 countries. The depth of our resources and the breadth of our reach are now stronger than ever. We take great pride in our reputation as a company with whom it is easy to do business. That will not change.
We will continue to update you on our progress. And invite you to meet with us at the Momentum Conference in San Diego and the Thomson Elite Conference in Hollywood.
We will continue working hard to earn your business, and we both personally thank you all for your tremendous support. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
Sincerely,
Derek Giles and David Swerdlove

Improving Revenues and Lawyer Morale with Effective Time Capture Tools. By Dennis Kennedy
Lawyers have always hoped that if technology would
help them in a truly useful way, it would help them
most in the area of time-keeping and billing. Until
recently, that area has largely disappointed them.
Lawyers describe the time-keeping process with any
number of words – none is complimentary and some
are unsuitable for print. At best, lawyers consider the
process a "necessary evil."Technology committees, IT directors and technology partners constantly look for technology that will help lawyers in their everyday work and make a meaningful impact on productivity and morale. Improvements in time-keeping can definitely make improvements in morale, productivity and even your firm's bottom line, making both lawyers and their clients happier.
The good news is that there are new tools and new approaches that will help you implement technologies that work in ways that lawyers work. The result is that lawyers can better capture time entry information than we have seen before, addressing common concerns and offering the promise of enhanced revenues. » Link to the Whitepaper
