Small firms embrace bundling technology

Smaller law firms are taking advantage of electronic bundling technology as the legal profession makes the transition to paperless bundles.

Electronic bundle preparation is being used at the smaller end of the scale—up to 20 lever arch files—as well as for larger cases, according to Paul Sachs, managing director of Netmaster Solutions, which runs CaseLines.

Sachs says smaller firms are finding they can use bundling technology at low cost.

While the traditional “arduous” preparation of a bundle can be stressful and require hours spent by a photocopier, solicitors report that online preparation saves up to 20% of their time, as well as costs, he says.

The technology is designed to aid the transition to paperless bundles, producing bundles at low cost. Lawyers have secure online cloud access to the bundles through the CaseLines system. They can navigate, search, redact, tag and comment on individual pages, while date-ordered indexing and page numbering is automatic. Counsel and parties to the case can be given secure read-only access to the bundle.
