Max Crispe Barristers & Solicitors
A Perth Law Practice. More Desk Space. Faster Computers.
Max Crispe Barristers & Solicitors is a Perth practice in criminal and traffic law.
The office was short on space, and its computers were large and slow.
Over three years, the practice replaced them with Venom BlackBooks.
This case study records the practice’s experience in 2018, after around 36 months with Venom BlackBooks. Quotes are Max Crispe’s own words, lightly edited for readability.
The Practice
Max Crispe has been a specialist Perth criminal lawyer, barrister and traffic lawyer for more than twenty-five years, first as a senior partner in a large city practice and, since 1997, under his own name.
The practice handles criminal and traffic law in Perth and regional Western Australia, appearing in the Magistrates Courts across Perth, Fremantle, Armadale, Joondalup, Midland, Rockingham and Mandurah, in jury trials in the District Court, and in the Supreme Court.
The Challenge
Office space was at a premium. The practice needed more desk space to keep working efficiently in the same office.
The existing computers were large, and they were slow. That was costing time.
Any new computers had to suit the practice’s IT services manager and fit into the existing infrastructure.
• Free up valuable desk space
• A dependable, non-experimental solution
• Demanding software requirements
• Replace computers that were too slow
• The right solution, regardless of budget
The Solution
The practice deployed a combination of Venom BlackBook Zeros and BlackBooks over 36 months.
“We were recommended Venom BlackBooks by our IT services manager.”
— Max Crispe
The BlackBook Zero.
Why Venom
• Fast boot-up times
• Space saving: thin and powerful
• Dependable and reliable
• The best that money could buy
“Space-saving, fast computers were what our IT guy recommended, and it is what we received.”
— Max Crispe
The Results
• More desk space, freeing valuable room in the office and improving workflow
• Serviceable and easy to deploy, used and serviced by the practice’s IT services manager
• A significant improvement in speed over the previous computers, greatly improving efficiency
“We wanted to free up office space, and get the best money could buy. The Venom BlackBooks are very speedy and gave us improved working times for incredible value. These machines have been very dependable and we are happy with our choice.”
