Welcome to Lexis Everyfile!

LexisNexis has launched Lexis Everyfile, a digital file system specifically designed for the legal services industry

Everyfile delivers ‘workflow, document production, automation, and legal process management in a flexible legal technology platform’, the company explained. It integrates with Microsoft 365 applications and has been developed for use on firm-approved devices such as laptops, phones and tablets and means users can easily access and view their work from anywhere via their web browser.

Andrew Lindsay, General Manager of LexisNexis Enterprise Solutions, said: ‘It is designed to manage the “missing middle” in a law firm’s technology stack, inclusive of key matter metadata that is not captured in traditional PMS, DMS or CRM systems.

‘This data is valuable, and key to providing best value client service, whilst capturing and building knowledge and experience into any of the firm’s systems, that will inform the next generation’s decision making.’

Nigel Williams, Product Director at LexisNexis Enterprise Solutions, said: ‘This solution has been developed based on direct insight into the challenges modern legal practices face. With a dedicated team of digital transformation experts on hand to advise, deploy and deliver Lexis Everyfile into any law firm, such collaborations help us to deliver the solutions that are really needed by law firms to help them stay ahead in today’s global, competitive market.’
