Today’s legal professionals face a challenging landscape that affects how they conduct business inside and outside the courtroom. They need to collaborate quickly with other counsel, paralegals, experts and others on nonpublic client information while avoiding breach scenarios in violation of HIPAA, HITECH, CFPB and other proliferating industry regulations.
Fortunately, there are technology solutions to address this dilemma that have already been approved by practice management advisors and implemented nationwide. They can increase the efficiency of your practice and support your compliance with the highest ethical standards. All come from one trustworthy company — Citrix.
Citrix offers attorneys, legal assistants and others in their practice tools to function more efficiently, effectively and ethically. With ShareFile, RightSignature and other features, Citrix provides innovative products that easily and securely integrate with the top document management systems (DMS) legal professionals use, including Worldox, iManage and OpenText.
Just this year alone, the bar associations of North Carolina, Iowa and Chicago began offering ShareFile as a member benefit, joining Georgia, Minnesota, New Jersey and many others. Those who use ShareFile can send and receive documents securely and support those bars’ jurisdictional ethics guidelines as well as comply with regulations in related industries they serve.
With its convenient integration with Microsoft Outlook and other apps for easy two-way file sharing, ShareFile lets anyone in your firm who uses a computer, smartphone or tablet securely access, share, edit and store files anywhere 24/7. Documents are encrypted on your devices, which can have their access revoked and documents wiped in case they are stolen or missing.
ShareFile now also offers check-in/check-out for shared documents. This feature addresses data loss, increases document collaboration and reduces costs by eliminating duplicate editing efforts.
Need to have clients and others sign legal documents quickly and securely without enduring the hassles of faxing or tracking them down in person? Use RightSignature to send documents for recipients to sign online with legally binding electronic signatures directly from your ShareFile account in a matter of minutes.
Citrix also enhances your collaborative efforts with GoToMeeting. This integrated high-definition video, web and audio conferencing solution builds rapport with clients as you connect with them on any mobile device or computer. Desktop recording and playback are available so you can easily review or share meetings later if needed for depositions or other situations.
