File Management

Search in Seconds, Not Through Shelves and Archives

Legal documents range from contracts, memoranda, judgments, receipts, and correspondence to powers of attorney. With paper storage or unorganized folders, finding the correct version when needed becomes burdensome and creates risks related to confidentiality, loss, or incorrect use.

LAWMAX’s File Management Module provides an organized digital archive linking each document to the relevant case, client, or module, with file- or folder-level permissions, version management, and a record of viewing, editing, and downloading according to enabled capabilities and firm policies.
