Corporate Legal Collaboration & Secure Content Sharing with Business Teams

Corporate legal departments collaborate constantly with outside counsel, business units, and external advisors - often without the law-firm-grade document management infrastructure that outside counsel relies on. netDocShare Sync gives in-house teams a secure way to collaborate with NetDocuments-governed content through platforms they already use.

The Challenge

In-house legal teams sit at the intersection of multiple collaboration needs: sharing matter documents with outside counsel who use NetDocuments, working with business stakeholders who live in Microsoft 365, and maintaining version control and access discipline across all of it. Without a sync layer, that often means manual document transfers, email attachments, or ad hoc shared drives - with each one posing a governance and security risk.

How netDocShare Sync Helps

netDocShare Sync addresses corporate legal collaboration through four connected capabilities:

Bridges outside counsel and in-house teams

Content synced between NetDocuments and SharePoint lets in-house teams collaborate with outside counsel without manual document transfers.

Keeps business stakeholders in familiar tools

Non-legal stakeholders can work with matter content in Microsoft SharePoint and Teams without needing NetDocuments access or training.

Maintains governance

Document IDs, metadata, and Ethical Wall permissions are preserved, so sharing more broadly doesn't mean losing control of the content.

Reduces email-attachment sprawl

A synced, governed space reduces reliance on emailing documents back and forth, cutting down on version-control problems and security exposure.
