When there is a need to share documents together between law firms and clients, but not necessarily a need for a litigation support extranet, a law firm portal might be a good choice to meet this need.
For example, if a client would like all employees of a law firm to be aware of their outside counsel policy manual, EEOC guidelines, preferred vendor listing, company mission or pledge, etc.., these documents might be posted on a law firm portal for convenient access by all interested parties.
Likewise, if a law firm needs to convey adminsitration information to clients such as billing rates, office hours and closures, billing procedures and terms or other items, the law firm can post this on a client portal.
Using a law firm portal obviously allows law firms (and clients) to post client-specific information for common review and use without exposing this information to the general public (as information on a firm's public website is exposed).
