Law firms around the globe have an increasing number of cases to solve and they keep looking for a technological solution to help create a faster workflow for the same. Is your firm one of them? You’re not alone. A law firm’s intranet software is an underrated solution which many firms are not taking advantage of. But first let’ explore, what an intranet software is anyway and how it can help?

In simple words, an intranet is a private network that is only for a company’s employees. SharePoint is among the most trusted software to build an intranet. Although setting up a customized intranet is not an overnight task, but SharePoint offers many plugins to configure an intranet for all real-life scenarios in a law firm.

A SharePoint intranet can completely transform and streamline your workflow. It serves so many purposes and offers a secure space for legal communication, confidential document management, and effective client collaboration in a law firm.

Let’s look at these benefits in detail:

1. Document Management: Different kinds of documents including Client data, HR policies, company forms, and much more can be uploaded, stored, and shared through an intranet. A SharePoint intranet also allows to set up workflows for plea approvals by courts, establish permissions so that only authorized staff can access respective files, or collaborate on documents digitally.

Special features like tagging make it easier to find and discover case related documents without hassle. With the metadata feature in your intranet employees can easily hunt down relevant case files without wasting time searching for the files in the library. Additionally, a document management system can automate document retention guidelines, an important policy for law firms.

2. Remote Access of Case Files: You might need an important proof document while the court proceeding is in progress. Another advantage of having an office intranet is that employees can online access confidential documents anywhere anytime. This speeds up the casework and allows employees to explore different possibilities and unlock their full potential.

3. Easy communication: Many lawyers and paralegals admit that they feel overloaded with emails every day. And if they miss a single piece of important communication, it affects the firm’s reputation badly. Intranet provides a streamline and easy communication experience with multiple cases and project groups. Just like a social network it can also facilitate an effortless chat-based communication and promote the faster flow of information.

These benefits are just a glimpse of what an intranet can do for your law firm. If you’re interested to know more about a well-established intranet, give our developers a call.
