Legal SharePoint FAQs

Common questions about SharePoint for law firms and legal departments.

Can SharePoint support ethical walls and information barriers?
Yes, SharePoint with Microsoft Purview supports information barriers that prevent specific groups of users from accessing certain content. We implement ethical walls that automatically restrict access based on matter conflicts, practice groups, or client relationships to maintain confidentiality.
How does SharePoint handle legal holds for litigation?
SharePoint integrated with Microsoft Purview eDiscovery supports litigation holds that preserve all relevant content, prevent deletion, and maintain chain of custody. We configure hold policies that automatically apply based on matter, date range, custodians, or search criteria.
Can SharePoint integrate with our practice management system?
Yes, SharePoint can integrate with major practice management systems including Clio, iManage, NetDocuments, and others through APIs and Power Automate. This enables automatic matter site creation, synchronized metadata, and unified search across systems.
How do you organize matters in SharePoint?
We implement matter-centric workspaces with standardized folder structures, document naming conventions, and metadata. Each matter site includes sections for correspondence, pleadings, discovery, contracts, and research. Sites are provisioned automatically based on your matter intake process.
Can clients securely access their documents through SharePoint?
Yes, we build secure client collaboration portals with controlled external sharing. Clients can access case documents, review contracts, provide feedback, and communicate with their legal team. All access is logged for billing and audit purposes.
