SharePoint continues to gain ground in its use in law firm client service and business development. Aimed at fostering collaboration and efficiency across a firm, SharePoint also earns attention for the ways firms can customize it to meet their needs for sharing information. Microsoft even has a dedicated page about its specific benefits for the practice and business of law.
Bob Beach offers some ideas on how SharePoint can best be used on the Hubbard One blog, Hubbard Perspectives, in a post titled “SharePoint Best Practices Panel from Legal Tech NY.” Beach is a the director of XMLAW client services.
He writes:
SharePoint can and should be used as a platform for bringing together information about clients, matters, and practices/industries served by the firm. When done well, this can lead to new insights about the work the firm is doing, and opportunities to drive new business.
Beach also writes about client extranets in in SharePoint:
Client extranets are a great way to interact with clients beyond simple document sharing to include collaboration capabilities, billing-related information, and trending towards matter budgeting and task/project management.
