Company Profile

AMS Legal is a company of attorneys and legal technologists committed to helping legal professionals make the most of the collaborative capabilities afforded by the Internet. Our flagship product, Collaborator™, was first created in 1996, with a vision of how a secure extranet collaboration system that could revolutionize the way law firms worked with their clients.

Today, AMS Legal is building on the original Collaborator™ framework to create the most feature-rich, value-added extranet product available to law firms, corporate legal departments and other professional services organizations that are devoted to providing their clients with first-rate service. AMS Legal is now powering the extranets for some of America's largest law firms and corporate legal departments. In addition to providing the software, AMS Legal also provides state of the art hosting and technical support.

Products and Services

The odds are good that clients will soon request - or mandate - that the legal information they have retained a law firm to produce be made available to them through an extranet. This makes perfectly good sense. Clients want processes steamlined and don't want to waste time looking for document or having to call and ask for document to be resent. An extranet (an ultra-secure web site) gives designated participants access only to materials pertaining to their participation in the case or matter. For many firms, it provides a common working platform for the case/matter at hand - be it buying/selling distressed assets, managing complex multiparty litigation, or simply providing a client with a central document repository and a streamlined means of communicating with its constituents.

There are good business reasons for considering Collaborator™, whatever your practice situation.

• 24/7 secure access to work product, wherever an Internet connection is available.
• Easy tracking of extranet activity; you can quickly determine who viewed documents and what edits were made.
• Granular user permission structure, so you can precisely control who has access to what portions of the extranet site.
• No limit on the number of extranets you can create.
• Little IT assistance required to set up a new extranet or administrate existing extranets.
• Each extranet created can be branded with firm the firm's logo to extend your brand.
• Collaborator™ is an ASP-delivered solution and requires NO infrastructure. All that is needed to use Collaborator™ is a web browser and Internet connection.
• Robust reporting features to track overall extranet use on a client by client or engagement by engagement basis.

Testimonials

What prompted my firm to consider an extranet solution was a simple recognition that you often distinguish yourself in our business not by your legal acumen, but by your attention to service. Good service is tied intrinsically to timely communication. Timely communication, in turn, often is a function of accessibility. Our extranet makes our lawyers more accessible to our clients and facilitates communication. The advantage of in-house lawyers communicating at any time with geographically dispersed lawyers in our firm is significant.
