Deadlines and hearings in Google Calendar: your firm’s schedule on your phone

Lawyers look at their phones dozens of times a day — and at their legal software maybe once or twice. When deadlines and hearings appear in the phone's calendar, reminders reach you where your attention already is.

Advantages of syncing

• One view: personal and professional appointments on the same calendar, avoiding conflicts;
• Native reminders on your phone, watch and computer;
• Offline access to the already-synced calendar;
• Online meetings with automatically generated links.

The system remains the source of truth

Google Calendar is a window; the deadline is created and controlled in the legal software, with an owner, history and counting rules. Relevant changes should be made in the system, which updates the calendar.

Organization for teams

1. Each lawyer syncs their own deadlines and hearings;
2. The principal keeps the overall view in the system;
3. Shared appointments appear for everyone involved.

Privacy precautions

Avoid putting sensitive client information in the event title. A title such as "Hearing — Case 0001234-56" is enough; the details stay in the system.

How IntegraLegal solves this
