Technology

Our lawyer toolkits include hardware/communications, remote access, and electronic research tools.

Hardware/Communications

Every lawyer is supplied with either a laptop or a desktop computer. The firm also provides presentation equipment for our lawyers including projectors, "loaner laptops," and any other equipment necessary for trials and litigation projects. Lawyers have access to PC Support Specialists and a 24-hour technology emergency pager. In-house technology training is also provided on an on-going basis.

Each desk is equipped with a digital telephone desk set that will allow up to six people to be conferenced. An outside teleconferencing service allows for "reservation-less" teleconferences from any location at any time. Every office is provided with state-of-the-art video conferencing equipment that can interact with almost every major system on the market.

Our Portal provides our lawyers with access to several tools such as a phone directory and library resources. These personalized "lawyer-centric" workspaces help enhance productivity and reduce time spent locating information. They provide a gateway to access other frequently used applications. Lawyers can also retrieve practice-specific documents from our document management system and access various databases pertaining to past experience and transactions.

Remote Access

Our lawyers enjoy several remote access options which enable them to work from virtually anywhere. All lawyers have the ability to retrieve their voicemail from any telephone. In addition, all lawyers can access their email, documents, databases, and firm-specific applications from just about any computer that is connected to the Internet. Remote access tools include:

• Citrix MetaFrame and Citrix Web
• Outlook Web Access
• Wireless email through BlackBerry
• Extranet services for lawyers and clients
• Remote access of voicemail from any phone
