Legal Document Management

Cleardata offers legal document management & scanning services to law firms and solicitors throughout the UK.  In today’s high paced legal environment, Solicitors and Lawyers are rapidly producing and storing a colossal amount of paper on a daily basis. With many firms expanding into city-centre offices, it is evident that storage space is restricted as well as costly, and the demand for instant access to client information has become progressively difficult and time-consuming.

Onsite Scanning Bureau

At Cleardata, we understand how confidential your legal client files are and how important it is that they do not leave your site.

By creating an onsite scanning bureau at your premises, we can help you capture archived and live client paper documents and convert them to digital format.  Digital images can be output to any required format e.g. PDF, JPG or TIFF.  Alternatively, images can be uploaded to a secure online system for quick and easy retrieval from multiple locations and users.

Legal documents can be OCR indexed by case reference number, surname, court date or other to ensure you can find them quickly and easily using simple keyword terms.

As we scan legal documents to BIP0008 standards (British Standard’s Code of practice for Legal Admissibility and Evidential Weight of Information Stored Electronically) you will get peace of mind that your images can be used as evidence at a later date.

For information on the best scanning solution to suit your needs, call our knowledgeable team today – our staff can help you set up your new system as well as provide full training and advice relating to document preparation, document scanning and document indexing.
