Always on the leading edge of the tech game, attorney Fernando Martinez Lopez is the true definition of a tech-savvy lawyer. Founder of MZLZ Lawyers, located in the Galician region of Spain, Martinez Lopez has been a Mac user since before he even finished Law School over ten years ago.
Over the course of his career, Martinez Lopez has started many successful endeavours in the legal industry, ranging from tactical security to corporate management. Nowadays, MZLZ serves clients locally in Family, Labor, Immigration, and Criminal Law, as well as Corporate Law clients all over the country. But even when switching focus between different areas in the Law field, one thing has always been a constant in Martinez Lopez’s career journey: Daylite.
Mac Is The Right Choice for Tech-Savvy Attorneys
When Martinez Lopez was finishing his Law degree, he worked at a tactical security and defence business where he discovered Daylite and got a first-hand understanding of its power for the legal industry. Fresh out of college, he started his entrepreneurial journey as an attorney, and even though most law professionals in Spain use Windows systems, he trusted the Mac to run his practice.
Martinez Lopez’s decision to stick with Mac happened naturally for many reasons: its ease of use, the ability to easily sync across different devices, and total cost of ownership. But more than that, being ahead of the tech game and an early adopter of tech innovations, Martinez Lopez simply knew that the Apple ecosystem was the right choice.
The Business App for a Flourishing Law Firm
When he started MZLZ, Martinez Lopez even explored a few different CRMs, but always struggled with the lack of customization and limited options to fit his business needs. The reason behind this is, with other software, users often need to adapt their business processes to work around the workflows offered by the tools. But because every business is unique, sometimes that simply doesn’t work.
With Daylite, it works the other way around. Daylite is flexible and fully customizable to fit the company’s business processes, which is why it quickly adapted to Martinez Lopez’s workflows from day one. That’s when he decided that Daylite, the only CRM and business app made for Mac, was the one and only tool for his law firm.
That’s because Daylite is made with small businesses in mind. It helps business owners and entrepreneurs worldwide achieve consistent growth by efficiently managing more clients, closing more deals, and finishing more projects. Daylite helps customers conquer their industries by allowing teams to proactively share information, next steps and details, keeping everyone in the loop. Instead of information silos, teams can collaborate better to get the context they need to hit targets, propel deals, and finish projects.

Embracing Cloud Technology, Even Offline
Even though cloud technology is still relatively new in Spain, Martinez Lopez makes sure to be always ahead of the game. That’s another reason why he loves Daylite. “When I started using Daylite, it wasn’t a cloud-based solution; I was among the first to switch to the cloud.” He explains that switching to the cloud has saved him money, as he has reduced server and labour costs while maintaining high efficiency.
But the benefits don’t stop there. Daylite also allows users to have access to their data even when they don’t have a connection to the internet, like in the courtroom or when travelling. “The work offline feature is really handy at times when you can’t access the internet. […] Now I mainly use it when travelling, for example. Being able to work during a long flight and, once landed, have everything synced without any hassle it’s truly amazing.”
Because everything in Daylite is synced in the cloud, users can work seamlessly across Apple devices and maintain high productivity levels, even when they have to quickly switch from the Mac to the iPad or iPhone, for example. “I usually bring my iPad to court with everything related to the cases. I take notes or create tasks or appointments, and when I’m back in the office, everything is synced with my Mac so I can start working right away.”
All in One Place With Linking Capabilities
For Martinez Lopez, keeping track of clients and every detail pertaining to their respective cases is crucial. He must always be on top of emails and calls between clients, meetings notes, and documents. His caseload can often result in loads of information that must be organized and easily accessible. After all, when it comes to legal cases, any miscommunication or missing information can result in a loss in court.
That’s another challenge that Daylite helps overcome. Thanks to its linking capabilities, Daylite keeps track and organizes all types of information, making it easily accessible, all in one place. “The ability to link everything, from an email to a note, as well as a task, an appointment or a person with a project, which I use to handle each case, is one of my favourites. And having everything synced with all my devices, it’s absolutely stunning.”
Having all the information and every detail pertaining to each case seamlessly linked to its respective client also makes the billing process easier for Martinez Lopez since he can easily sum up all the billable work done for each case with a few clicks in Daylite.

Tracking and Moving Deals Forward With Opportunities Board
Martinez Lopez’s new favourite feature is one of Daylite’s most recent additions: the Opportunities Board, which gives him an at-a-glance overview of his opportunities, making it easier to track where every new deal is in the pipeline, so nothing falls through the cracks in an ever-growing list of potential business.
That is a significant improvement in his workflow because now he can identify with just one glance the state of each opportunity and where deals are getting stuck, as well as which deals need his immediate attention. This flexibility helps him easily handle offers and estimates, and streamlines the acquisition process to grow his law business, as he can quickly identify the next steps to push deals forward.
