Document Distribution
Legal extranets and law firm client workspaces can be deployed in a manner to assist clients with the distribution of ad-hoc documents.
For example, should a client need to distribute a document to all outside counsel, once it is added to a legal extranet system a properly configured system can generate emails with links back to this document.
Better systems can distribute documents in a number of ways -- to specific individuals, to specific members of a working team, to specific types of individuals (attorneys only, perilously only, local counsel only, etc..).
This helps get files and documents out to counsel in a reliable, consistent and efficient manner.
