In this fast-moving world, we expect our technology to accommodate our need to share information reliably and efficiently.
Nowhere is this need more strongly felt than in the practice of law, where even the simplest matters generate scores of constantly evolving documents that must be shared by clients, counsel and co-counsel.

But the technologies most law firms use to share critical documents with clients are simply inadequate.
Fax is slow and becoming obsolete, and e-mail with document attachments doesn't provide an adequate solution for tracking who has received important documents and whether the documents people do have are the latest versions. Case collaboration by e-mail and fax becomes a frustrating hindrance rather than the help technology should provide.

Dechert knew that today's global information technology could provide a better solution and made a commitment to providing it to our clients.
That solution is Dechert DocShare, an easy-to-use browser-based system that harnesses the power of the Internet to deliver complete, simple and secure access to important documents.

  • Dechert DocShare lets a group of authorized users of virtually any size access the latest versions of the documents related to your matter from anywhere in the world using Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.


  • All parties can view or download documents at the click of a button, then suggest changes to the person who posted the document just as easily. Comments are redlined automatically, speeding the revision process.


  • Whenever a new document is added, everyone involved in the case receives an e-mail. They then have instant access to it.


  • The latest version of a document is always identified, and prior versions are still accessible for reference or review. Full-text searching makes it easy to find the documents you are seeking quickly.


  • A virtual "Bulletin Board" for each document lets everyone track its progress.


  • Only those who need to see individual documents have access to them.
