What is the price of NetDocuments?

NetDocuments pricing can vary widely, as they have a wealth of solutions to choose from. Typically, it is best to schedule an info session with them to determine your firm's needs and the potential costs of that.

Is NetDocuments good for my office's discovery needs?

Is NetDocuments secure enough for my law practice?

How difficult is NetDocuments to set-up?

Set-up complexity depends on the products that a firm decides to leverage. Suffice to say, however, this is not just plug-and-play. Optimal users of the platform will want to integrate it into all aspects of their practice and workflows. So, it may take some time to onboard, but that is because it can do a lot.

Will NetDocuments work on my computer?

Yes. Although it is most compatible with PCs and the Microsoft Suite of software, NetDocuments will work on a Mac computer, and will run on browsers other than Internet Explorer.

Additional Details about NetDocuments

Integration with Outlook

With NetDocument’s Office 365 add-in, you can manage and store documents within Outlook. This tight integration with Outlook means that attorneys can file client communications right from the application rather than manually moving it for storage in a client file. NetDocuments will make suggestions as to where to file an email based on the sender, the subject line, and attachments.

Document sets

SetBuilder is an add-on program for NetDocuments that assembles multi-document sets into a single PDF with a shareable link. This is useful for attorneys who routinely work with large numbers of documents, such as real estate lawyers handling a closing. That can save time and reduce the errors that can occur when a team member manually assembles the document set.
