The ability to share information instantly and seamlessly is critical in today’s business environment. While technological advances have made the transfer of information easier and faster, the exchange of information between client and lawyer and the ability to navigate through large amounts of data remains cumbersome without the right tools.

Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG) has responded to this ever-growing need by offering Client Extranets – an online service that can significantly enhance communications, information sharing and document access in a secure environment. Extranets are customized by our experienced Information Technology team to accommodate our clients specific needs and provide our clients robust search functionality to not only find documents but to help find information buried in documents.

Client Extranets use sophisticated SSL digital encryption technology – the industry standard – to provide password-protected access to view, print and download documents and provide clients and lawyers with various significant advantages, including:

• Integrated information processing and communications;

• 24/7 secure global access;

• Ability to collaborate in real time;

• Enhanced team collaboration; and

• Significantly diminished needs for information processing and searching, faxing, courier services and meetings.
