Legal SharePoint Highlights
Legal SharePoint and the WorkPortal
SharePoint provides the perfect platform to gather and present information in a common web interface, simplifying the attorney's access to the information. Multiple users can share documents and collaborate on projects. The format is simple and familiar.
Using Web parts, SharePoint interacts with other programs and pulls information from a variety of sources, including law office programs, databases and websites. The resulting WebPortal page allows a comprehensive overview plus simple one-click management of the key information for all projects.
