Learn just how LexWorkplace has helped many law firms.


The Common Struggles of Law Firms Before LexWorkplace

Law firms often find themselves juggling documents across multiple devices, with files stored on individual laptops, making it tough to collaborate and easy to lose track of important information. If a computer crashes or hardware fails, important client documents can vanish in an instant.

Security is another big issue. Storing sensitive information locally leaves firms open to data breaches and theft.

As our client James Menker from Holley & Menker put it,

“Unfortunately, we’ve lost data in the past from computer/laptop crashes. We needed a system that was backed up and kept our data secure.”

As firms grow, the lack of a streamlined system makes it harder for teams to collaborate efficiently. They need a way to securely access documents from anywhere without adding more stress to their workflow — this is where LexWorkplace comes in.

Case Study Spotlight: TJ Kelly Intellectual Property Law PC

TJ Kelly Intellectual Property Law, an intellectual property law firm, faced significant challenges managing documents as they expanded.

With files stored locally on individual devices, collaboration was difficult, and the firm was at constant risk of data loss due to hardware failures. Their document management system wasn’t scalable, and the need for a better solution became clear.

LexWorkplace helped TJ Kelly Intellectual Property Law PC overcome these issues by:

  • Solving Accessibility Issues: Before LexWorkplace, the firm struggled with documents isolated on individual computers, making collaboration nearly impossible. Now, with cloud-based access, the team can securely retrieve files from anywhere, enabling seamless collaboration across multiple locations.

  • Streamlining Document Organization: Searching for documents across various devices wasted valuable time. LexWorkplace centralized their case files and emails into one unified system, making document retrieval quick and easy, while improving teamwork.
  • Making Adoption Easy: Adopting a new system can be a challenge, but LexWorkplace’s intuitive design allowed the firm to make the transition smoothly, without requiring extensive training or causing disruption to their workflow.

Case Study: Law Offices of Ronald Canter

The Law Offices of Ronald Canter, a firm specializing in debt collection, had a small but growing team spread across multiple locations. As their practice expanded, managing documents and collaborating effectively became increasingly difficult.

Challenges Before LexWorkplace

Before LexWorkplace, the firm faced several issues with document management:

  • Scattered Files: Documents were stored on individual devices, making it difficult to collaborate and share information across locations.
  • Security Risks: Sensitive client data stored locally was at risk of being lost due to hardware failures or security breaches.
  • Inefficiency: The team spent valuable time searching for files scattered across multiple devices, slowing down workflows.

“We were using a local server-based storage system that was clunky and difficult to access from multiple locations,” Rob Canter

The firm needed a centralized, cloud-based solution to address these problems.

Case Study: Holley & Menker

Holley & Menker, a boutique law firm focusing on global intellectual property law, has a unique structure that requires their attorneys to work from multiple offices and remote locations. As the firm grew, it became clear they needed a better way to manage and access their documents securely and efficiently.

Challenges Before LexWorkplace

Before LexWorkplace, Holley & Menker stored documents on individual devices, leading to major inefficiencies. Files were scattered across local hard drives, making collaboration difficult and leaving the firm vulnerable to data loss from hardware failures.

Some key challenges the firm faced included:

  • Remote Collaboration: With attorneys working from multiple locations, it was difficult to access and share case files in real-time.
  • Data Security: Storing sensitive client information locally put the firm at risk of data loss and potential security breaches.
  • Scalability: As the firm expanded, their existing system couldn't handle the growing volume of files, making organization and retrieval increasingly challenging.

The LexWorkplace Solution

LexWorkplace provided Holley & Menker with a cloud-based system that perfectly suited their needs. Attorneys can now securely access documents from any location, making collaboration between offices seamless.

“We can work from anywhere, and LexWorkplace lets us retrieve the files we need, when we need them,” said Menker.

The platform also offers encrypted backups, which protect sensitive data and eliminate the risk of data loss due to hardware failures.
