ATL1In today’s digital age, we’ve grown accustomed to being able to access everything we need in the exact moment when we want it. The downside of everything being digitized, however, is a growing concern about the security of confidential files.

With stories of hacking scandals increasingly making headlines, the need to find a safe way to share files is greater than ever. While lawyers and law firms have long been wedded to email as their preferred means for sharing and circulating documents, the fact of the matter is that email attachments just don’t afford the level of security you need to protect your clients’ sensitive information and comply with your ethical requirements.

That’s where client portals come in. Unlike email attachments, client portals incorporate sophisticated encryption mechanisms that allow your documents to exist online without fear of them being accessed by people who shouldn’t be accessing them.

Combine the security of client portals with Citrix’s commitment to developing cloud solutions that truly work for small businesses and you get ShareFile, Citrix’s secure file sharing service. ShareFile features an intuitive client document portal that helps the busy lawyer meet the demands of today’s mobile working world without risking client security.

Cloud-Based Sharing That’s Easy to Use

Let’s be honest – the legal profession has never been known for being particularly tech-savvy. While that’s slowly changing with every new class of junior associates, the fact remains that many experienced attorneys are resistant to learning new technology. The same can be said for certain clients. For better or for worse, though, technology is an undeniable part of practicing law these days. The key is to find products that make incorporating technology easy, and ShareFile does just that.

For some, the idea of learning new software and switching from email to a client portal for document delivery may sound daunting. The good news is that ShareFile couldn’t be easier to use. Incorporating simple functionality and an intuitive, user-friendly interface, ShareFile creates a familiar and secure place where you, your employees, and your clients can access all of your relevant documents with a simple click.

Every user gets a secure, unique login. ShareFile imposes no limitations on your ability to host and share data – you can give access to as many people as you want and business plans feature unlimited storage. We all know that for lawyers with demanding caseloads and lengthy client rosters, limits just don’t work.

And with a client portal, you no longer need to worry about miscommunications or missing attachments. Emailing documents opens the door to too many potential errors, from sending documents to the wrong person, to people deleting emails and attachments, to clients inadvertently reviewing old and outdated drafts of documents. ShareFile eliminates all of that.

ShareFile’s client portal is accessed with a simple click and a login prompt. There’s no concern that your client might be accessing the wrong document, as they’re linked to exactly what you want them to see. You fully control what they have access to and can ensure that they’re always getting the most up-to-date version of whatever you’re discussing. There are no clunky downloads or plugins to deal with – file sharing is as easy as a simple drag and drop, and downloads happen with a single click. Simply put, ShareFile couldn’t make secure file sharing any easier. There are even specialists on hand to help you customize your settings to meet your individual preferences.

Setting a New Standard for Accessibility

Law has always been a demanding profession. And while technology has undoubtedly made our lives easier, it has also placed a host of new pressures and demands on attorneys. With the explosion of portable devices, the expectation that lawyers will be available at all times has increased exponentially.

So, whether you’re traveling with your laptop or checking client emails from your phone while on vacation (because we all know you will), you’ll have uninterrupted access to your files, anytime, anywhere. The beauty of cloud-based storage is that it goes with you wherever you go. And ShareFile’s secure apps make it even easier to take the office with you when you go.

ShareFile takes the stress out secure document sharing, so that you can focus on what matters most, serving your clients.
