Recently, we were introduced to a new version of Legal Anywhere called FIRMCONNECT.   We were very impressed with FIRMCONNECT because it allows smaller firms to have what larger firms have been using for a number of years, an Intranet for internal use and an Extranet for client use.

Out of the box FIRMCONNECT offers firms both a unified intranet and client portal to accommodate both your internal and external collaboration needs.  The system can be easily set up and implemented by end users without requiring any software development.  For one easy price a firm adopts both industry leading tools.  And the prices are in the range that smaller firms can afford.  $500 a month for firms with up to 20 lawyers.

  • Automate Admin tasks such as check requests, HR Forms, IT software license database, conference room reservations, CLE tracker, new client intake forms & more!
  • Provide clients, partners and associates, and staff real time access anytime-anywhere.
  • External Client Portal fully integrated.
  • Customizable work-flow applications
  • Keep employee’s up to date with events, information and calendaring.
  • Reduce time and cost associated with day to day operations.

You can customize the Home page of your firm’s intranet site.  For example:

You can easily create internal pages for departments or functions:

And, you can have extranet sites for your clients that are secure and allow you to share documents and monitor the clients actions on the site  System security and user permissions are granular, permitting your firm to specify access rights down to the item level within an extranet. This permits your firm the ability to use the system for a wide variety of matters, providing specific users limited access to information within an extranet on an as needed basis. In addition, FIRMCONNECT provides your firm the ability to grant “view only” rights to external users when you want to prevent anyone from printing, downloading or copying content from within a shared document.

If you have Worldox, you can transfer documents to the FIRMCONNECT site from Worldox, and FIRMCONNECT recognizes updates in a given document when changes are made including synchronization and replication, eliminating version control issues.
