Real-time Monitoring

Organizations are increasingly turning to document management solutions or work product management to ensure they have the ability to access and safeguard their content, allowing the organization to be more efficient while maintaining content security. These solutions allow organizations to quickly save, secure, search and share content in a way that has not been seen before.

The Trusted Thief, the Careless Contributor and the Unwary User

Law firms have been labeled the new soft underbelly of corporate espionage and cyber-hacking. An article by IPWatchDog contributor Steve Brachmann stated that “At least 80 per cent of the nation's 100 largest law firms have been affected in some way by a data breach...” The article goes on to describe the growing concerns of major law firm clients who see the risks they face by proxy.

Matter Intake: How we helped a major UK law firm conquer client forms and authorization automation with K2, DocuSign and iManage

We're helping one of the ‘top 100’ UK law firms, based in the southwest of the country, to automate their New Matter Intake process with K2. As part of their onboarding process, this firm had to send documents, and sometimes forms, to be completed and signed by potential clients. A paper process of forwarding documents to clients was slow, as was the process of scanning them back into the system once completed and returned. The firm considered the possibility of developing a ‘forms solution’ that would send forms to their clients to be signed and eventually returned as a PDF (assuming the client had the technology to produce and e-mail the PDF). Of course, this meant that there was no consistency in how the forms were returned from client to client.

What does it take for a lawyer to like a DMS?

There’s a rumour going around that lawyers are hard to please. Now I don’t personally subscribe to this notion but I do believe it is engrained in a lawyer’s DNA to hone in on dysfunctional technology like a heat-seeking missile. Call me a hopeless romantic but I also believe that if you provide technology that’s intuitive, reliable and responsive, then you can please just about anyone—even lawyers.

Lesson learned at Kirkland & Ellis vendor day not at all what I expected.

I recently attended ‘Vendor Day’ at Kirkland & Ellis. Kirkland—the 13th largest firm in the US—placed 5th on The American Lawyer's 2016 Am Law 200 ranking. Definitely something to brag about there! But there was something else that I found even more "brag-worthy," though I know it was certainly not their intent. During one of the sessions a Kirkland lawyer shared a riveting story about a pro bono case that he had participated in. The case was about a person who had been wrongly convicted of murder as a result of a fraudulently obtained confession—and someone whom the legal system had failed.

So Many Apps, So Little Integration

Does anyone remember their days in elementary or high school when they were instructed to work in 'groups' to complete an assignment? Do you recall the furtive glances and the mad scurry to ensure you secured membership in a ‘winning’ group? Possibly you were a member of 'that group'—the one that never really finished assignments; the group with the uncooperative or lazy members? It was a sure path to a poor mark. Half completed assignments are rarely rewarded.

You can either play the game or you can change the game.
