Austin, TX, July 20, 2018 — The team at LawPay is excited to announce that the Alaska Bar Association is the newest state bar to offer LawPay as a vetted and approved benefit to their members. Trusted by more than 50,000 legal professionals, and now 48 state bars nationwide, LawPay is the number one online payment solution for the legal industry.

The LawPay partnership will provide Alaska Bar Association members with a simple solution for accepting online payment in their firms, as well as personal account management, dedicated in-house client support, and PCI compliance at no additional cost.

In addition to being a new member benefit to members of the Alaska Bar Association, LawPay was also recently added as a member benefit by the Lancaster Bar Association in Pennsylvania, as well as the Contra Costa County Bar Association in California.

A recent study showed that, when using online payment solutions, law firms get paid 39 percent faster than traditional methods. By offering LawPay as a member benefit, these associations are taking great steps to help foster the growth and success of lawyers in their respective locations.
