Seamless collaboration and efficient management of documents are important for a successful legal practice. The netDocShare Teams app, powered by KLST, offers law firms unprecedented access to NetDocuments content directly within Microsoft Teams channels. This innovative integration is transforming the way legal teams collaborate, share and manage documents.
As the legal industry evolves, law firms are increasingly turning to Microsoft Teams as a central hub for collaboration and communication. Microsoft Teams is utilized across various departments within law firms, including attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants and administrative staff. These professionals spend a large part of their workday in Microsoft Teams, utilizing its features for meetings, chat, file sharing and project management.
Moreover, the modern work environment within law firms is becoming more flexible, with a growing number of legal professionals working remotely or on the go. Mobile access to data and documents is crucial for attorneys and support staff, enabling them to stay productive and connected regardless of their location. As a result, the need for seamless integration between Microsoft Teams and document management systems like NetDocuments has become increasingly apparent.

The power of netDocShare is in its ease of use and keeping everyone on the team in sync. Here are a couple of examples of netDocShare in law firms.
Within a bustling corporate law firm, Microsoft Teams serves as the cornerstone for seamless collaboration across multiple practice areas. The firm set up dedicated Teams channels for focused groups, including mergers and acquisitions, regulatory compliance and intellectual property. Each channel has become a hub for case management, where attorneys can upload and discuss pertinent documents, ranging from contracts and agreements to regulatory filings.
The firm also leverages Microsoft Teams integration with Office 365 applications to facilitate real-time collaboration on contracts, briefs and other work product. These documents are stored and managed efficiently in NetDocuments, the firm’s chosen document management system. To seamlessly access and edit NetDocuments content within Microsoft Teams the firm utilizes the netDocShare Teams collaboration app. This app allows attorneys to view and edit any NetDocuments content, including workspaces, cabinets, folders and saved searches, directly within Teams channels. Attorneys can also customize views with desired metadata columns, control column width and order and sort and filter data as needed. This integration streamlines workflow processes, enabling attorneys to access and manage documents seamlessly without switching between multiple tabs or applications.
Take, for example, a boutique law firm specializing in immigration law. Remote immigration attorneys provide legal advice to immigrant clients, assess case status and help with country-specific issues. Immigration attorneys often work remotely, travel to client meetings and spend time in court.
With netDocShare, this firm uses individualized Microsoft Teams channels for each client matter, allowing attorneys and clients to exchange confidential documents securely and engage in real-time discussions. For example, immigration attorneys utilize Microsoft Teams to share visa application forms, supporting documentation and updates on case status with clients.
netDocShare supports this busy practice, providing access to the files they need right on their mobile devices. The netDocShare Teams app allows users to view, edit, add, search and quick sync NetDocuments content within Microsoft Teams Channel Tab, 1-1 Private Chat and other options. Our integrated approach empowers attorneys to deliver exceptional legal services while effectively managing case-related information within a unified platform.
The combination of Microsoft Teams, NetDocuments and the netDocShare Teams app represents a transformative leap forward in legal technology, offering law firms a comprehensive solution for streamlined collaboration and document management. By aligning with the trends of increasing Microsoft Teams usage and remote work within the legal industry, netDocShare meets the evolving needs of legal professionals, empowering them to work more efficiently and effectively in today’s dynamic environment.
