Legal
Court proceedings, subpoenas, complaints, notices, depositions, evidence, filings, statutes, memoranda, etc. The Legal sector is characterized by a large variety of often long documents, adding up to form large and cumbersome files, hard to search, deal with, re-use, transport and store.
Your legal department can be overwhelmed with document requests. No matter if you are creating a contract from scratch or staying ahead of contract renewals, keeping track of these essential business documents presents a challenge for both small and large organizations. Not having an effective means to track this represents significant risk to your ongoing business.
As part of a very dynamic and ever-changing environment, legal professionals constantly deal with paper case files, reading court decisions, legislation and other regulations. Finding that information, retyping it for later use, or sharing it with colleagues or customers, represents a significant loss of time and money.

Why legal document management software?
A legal document management system replaces paper files and documents in a legal office or law firm, enabling users to send electronic documents through the same steps a paper document or file would follow.
Paperless electronic document management systems (EDMS) are primarily used in the legal profession as firm-wide solutions to increase efficiency and eliminate the costly inconsistencies that are common in a paper-based process. For instance, if the firm has a new case form that is filled out for each client account and it must proceed from the attorney to a paralegal and then back to the attorney, an EDMS can provide the same path.
A true paperless EDMS not only provides storage, but must provide the same workflow capabilities. Along the way, it must also protect documents so that only authorized people can view, edit and/or delete documents based on the individual user’s access rights.
