Reducing Closed Matter Storage Costs
PDF • 7 min read
Many law firms unknowingly pay $20,000–$30,000 per year to store closed matter files in premium document systems. This guide shows how you can reduce those costs by 90% or more while preserving compliance, accessibility, and searchability.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Firms using NetDocuments, iManage, or similar premium DMS platforms for 5+ years, with growing storage costs and closed matters that haven't been archived.
FROM THIS GUIDE
NetDocuments storage can cost $10,000 per terabyte per year, compared with about $400 per year in Azure Blob storage - meaning many firms are unknowingly paying 20x more than necessary for closed matter files.
Automating Client Intake
PDF • 12 min read
Many firms spend 4–10 hours per case on manual intake work - retyping data, chasing documents, and preparing engagement letters. This guide shows how to replace those steps with automated workflows that capture data once and reuse it everywhere.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Firms where staff manually type client info from calls, use paper intake forms, or enter data into multiple systems separately. Especially valuable for firms handling 20+ new matters per month.
FROM THIS GUIDE
By combining call transcription, automated engagement contracts with retainer invoicing, and digital intake forms, many firms can reduce manual intake work from 4–10 hours per case to just 1–2 hours.
