ELArchive helps law firms, legal departments and professional services firms keep case files and contracts in one secure archive. We index every document by case, party and date, you restrict confidential matters, and every view, borrow and change goes on record.
The challenge
Someone questions a document's history. Your answer is a signature on a paper log.
In legal work, where a document has been matters as much as what it says. A custody record that depends on someone remembering to sign isn't much of a record.

How ELArchive fits
What changes for your lawyers and records team
Custody on record.
Every view, borrow and change carries a name and a time. Nobody has to sign a sheet.
Confidential matters stay confidential.
You set access per group and per module, and confidentiality levels keep sensitive files with the people working on them.
