The advantages of a Nixon Peabody extranet

Because communications and information are at the very core of the legal services Nixon Peabody provides, an extranet can significantly enhance our ability to serve your organization’s law-related needs. Our experienced Information Technology staff can establish an extranet that fits your unique preferences and requirements while enabling us to serve you more efficiently and effectively.

The extranet solution

The practice of law, today more than ever before, relies heavily on an ability to access, convey, store, retrieve, and review a diverse range of information— often on a nearly instantaneous basis. Attorneys and clients, both pressed by growing work and travel demands, must increasingly communicate on the fly and from remote settings.

An extranet uses sophisticated Internet technologies to provide private communications and information-sharing capabilities to a designated group of users, and provides attorneys and clients many significant advantages, including:

Anywhere-anytime access. Given the fast pace of the contemporary work environment and the demanding schedules of attorneys and clients, 24/7 global access is one of an extranet’s greatest advantages.
Integrated information processing and communications. An extranet enables clients and their attorneys to store, access, and process information as well as communicate with one another, all in the same secure environment.
Enhanced team collaboration. Legal and client team members can work more effectively together as time and location constraints are minimized and communications are improved.
Diversity of information. From notes, contracts, court documents, and slide presentations to audio/visual file storage and transmission, extranets can be designed to handle a wide range of digital information.
Multiple access levels. An extranet can be designed with various access levels based on needs and client preferences.
Time savings. Instant access to information and easier communications saves valuable time for both clients and attorneys.
Cost reduction. Extranets significantly lessen the need for information processing and searching, faxing, courier services, and meetings.
Increased productivity. Legal and client team members work more efficiently and can often produce superior results because they are able to work with fewer constraints.

While many law firms lack the technical resources and know-how to create and manage client extranets effectively, Nixon Peabody has the capabilities and experienced, dedicated professionals to establish our extranets and keep them running smoothly.

Extranet support and management

Our Information Technology team includes dedicated professionals who oversee the construction and ongoing operation of each of the firm’s extranets. They are well-prepared to address technical issues that occasionally arise and to provide technical assistance when needed through a special support line. Other members of the firm’s staff, typically part of the legal team serving the respective client, assure that the extranet’s content is managed effectively.
