Lawfront has announced that it has selected NetDocuments, the #1 trusted cloud platform for law firms, corporate legal teams and business organisations, as its chosen document management system (DMS).
At Lawfront, as we look to build a single technology platform, NetDocuments will act as our central cloud-based repository for accessing and managing documents. With an intelligent DMS, providing leading-edge legal AI capabilities, we will transform user experience to drive enhanced productivity and client service through our regional firms - Fisher Jones Greenwood, Farleys, Nelsons and Slater Heelis.
Due to our rapid growth, we want to consolidate our document management systems, to reduce IT management costs, enhance the user experience and drive a more consistent way of working across the group. After a thorough market evaluation, we selected NetDocuments as our single-cloud-based DMS, due to its ease of use, extensive integrations and native AI capabilities. Using NetDocuments, our team will be able to securely collaborate on documents from any device or location. Furthermore, they can access AI tools to help drive efficiency, productivity and accuracy.
More than 35 million documents will be migrated to NetDocuments from the four separate legacy systems as part of a phased implementation. Certified NetDocuments partner Accesspoint will be managing the implementation, with the first go-live at Fisher Jones Greenwood expected in April 2025.
Peter Carr, Head of Digital Applications at Lawfront, commented:
"NetDocuments was the clear choice for document management across our four law firms. Having a single cloud DMS is a key part of our technology roadmap, so NetDocuments’ future proof platform and open API were really attractive to us. We’re also excited about harnessing the latest legal AI capabilities without having to integrate solutions from multiple vendors. Ultimately, this enhanced environment will allow our lawyers to firmly focus on delivering exceptional client service."
Kerri Dearing, VP of International Business at NetDocuments, commented:
“We’re pleased to be playing a key role in supporting Lawfront’s technology transformation as it looks to deliver a more consistent employee and client experience. Through having one single intelligent DMS supporting its separate firms, its lawyers will have access to the documents management and legal AI capabilities they need to do their best work.”
