Could Your Law Office Go Paperless? It’s Easier Than You Think
Ever since Nick Critelli started his law firm CritelliLaw in 1967, he has strived to leverage the power of technology to provide his clients with a better legal product. In fact, Critelli credits creative use of technology with keeping his boutique law firm competitive with the largest of firms.
“No matter how large the firm, when you stand up in court, you stand alone. When I stand, I want the power of technology behind me, “ he says.
CritelliLaw’s offices in England and the United States have become nearly paperless, dramatically reducing spending on paper, ink and postage by using Citrix ShareFile.
But saving money is only one benefit.
“What I like about ShareFile is that it passes the test for my ethical obligation to make all reasonable efforts to make sure my data is secure,” says Critelli, who also chairs the Iowa State Bar Association’s Ethics Committee, which has named ShareFile as a preferred vendor.
Now, every document that leaves Critelli’s office is sent with ShareFile, so he knows the files are secure. Critelli has even used ShareFile’s reporting and notification features to his advantage in court cases.
“If I sent just a letter to an opponent, I don’t know who has it or if they read it. If I send that letter with ShareFile, I see who downloads it, when they forward it, and if the general counsel has the file,” says Critelli. “I can prove with real data in court that someone who says they never received a file actually has it.”
ShareFile offers a 30-day free trial for legal professionals. Call 1-888-324-0168 for a demonstration of ShareFile or sign up for a free trial at ShareFile.com/legal.
