Digital Legal Records

Law Firms are paper driven businesses. The numerous records and documents that are created and collected in law offices combine to make an ocean of paper. From online legal research, to firm client and matter information, to the thousands of documents produced each day, it is becoming increasingly difficult for law firms to get the information needed in order to practice law effectively.

The efficiency and effectiveness of every member of the firm depends on how quickly they can access and retrieve the information they need. GRM’s Records Management Solutions provide a fully integrated and dynamic system that allows for a secure and organized paper records storage system, GRM’s Scan-on-Request allows virtual access to the paper records and GRM Digital provides a digital solution that facilitates eDiscovery, and using OCR/ICR technology allows for the search of multiple documents simultaneously. Additionally, because of the portability of the GRM solution, important case documents can be made available to anyone who requires access.

GRM can provide the efficiencies you are looking for, and ensure your investment delivers added value for both your firm and the clients you serve.
