How to index and paginate documents with Bundledocs?

For most lawyers creating court bundles, briefs or any legal document bundle is a time consuming and often laborious task. With this in mind, Bundledocs has been specifically designed to help legal professionals and legal teams quickly and efficiently create document bundles.

In order to create briefs, legal professionals traditionally spend countless hours manually ordering, numbering and indexing documents. This is an incredibly time consuming task and furthermore lacks flexibility and efficiency. For example, if any changes or amendments are required once the bundle is finished, legal professionals would need to re-index, re-order and re-paginate the entire bundle. With Bundledocs brief building software these activities are a thing of the past.

Legal Collaboration and Software as a Service

Within the legal sector collaboration plays a key role for most lawyers, whether it exists between colleagues, clients or opposing counsel. However, as new technologies and software continue to change the way firms conduct business, these changes are also affecting how lawyers collaborate.

The rise of cloud computing technologies such as software as a service (SaaS) has greatly affected collaboration within the legal sector. In short, software as a service enables users to access software related services through an internet connection. Therefore, rather than relying on desktop software or traditional servers, software is hosted by a third party and can be accessed via an internet connection.

In an article entitled “Practicing Law with SaaS” author Luigi Benetton discussed the view of Tom Mighell, senior counsel and litigation technology support coordinator for Cowles & Thomspons and author of ‘The Lawyer’s Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies: Smart Ways to Work Together’. When discussing his experience using online collaborative tools, Mighell stated that, “It was just so much more convenient. There would always be one version of the document. We wouldn’t have to email back and forth and we wouldn’t have multiple copies of thing on different computers.”

For legal professionals, one of the main areas in which sharing information and collaboration are extensively used is creating brief bundles.  As Bundledocs brief building software uses a software-as-a-service model, lawyers have the added advantage of using online collaborative tools to help when creating brief bundles. So how can Bundledocs help lawyers create briefs collaboratively?

1. Work in Groups:

With Bundledocs, lawyers can grant access to other team members allowing them to view and edit briefs. This is particularly relevant when a number of people are working on a case as there is no need to send documents back and forth, cluttering up your inbox.

2. Share Bundles with Third Parties:

Using Bundledocs, lawyers can securely invite third parties to view briefs. For lawyers generating large briefs this is particularly beneficial, as emailing large files can often be problematic.

3. 24/7 Access from Anywhere:

With Bundledocs, lawyers can access their brief from any device with an internet connection, at anytime 24/7 and from any location. This is particularly useful for legal teams working on a case from different offices or even countries, as Bundledocs enables users to work on briefs regardless of time or location.

Why should Smaller Firms adopt Software as a Service?

A recent Law.com article entitled “It’s time for Smaller Firms to Question BigLaw Technology” identified the need for smaller law firms to question following larger firms lead when considering legal technology and innovation.

Within the article author William Caraher argues that when compared to larger firms, smaller law firms have a significant advantage when it comes to adopting new technologies. It is believed that smaller firms can adapt to change and are typically more open to new ideas, standards are less rigid and implementation costs are usually lower. Caraher highlights that many “assume the legal culture is pigeonholed into making “lemming” decisions based upon what other firms are doing”. As a result firms should be not be focusing on what other firms within the legal profession are doing but what are other industries doing.

An interview conducted by the Legal IT Professional with Richard Susskind highlighted some important points relating to the adoption of cloud computing within the legal profession.  The article entitled “Richard Susskind about law firm IT management and cloud computing” highlights that many start-up and small law firms can benefit significantly from the software as a service model as it enables them to access legal applications previously only available to larger firms. Addressing the benefits of cloud computing for smaller law firms, Richard Susskind said, “Cloud computing does the thing, it actually puts the data storage, the computing power and the facilities that used to only available to large organisations, and makes them available to small organisations. I think all these firms are absolutely crucial in bringing and driving technology through into the legal profession.”
