Frequently asked questions

Is SharePoint a good document management system for law firms?

SharePoint can work well for many firms when it is designed with legal permissions, matter workflows, retention, search, and staff adoption in mind.

Can AKAVEIL migrate existing folders into SharePoint?

Yes. AKAVEIL can help assess current file structures, plan migration, design permissions, and support rollout so staff can adopt the new workflow.

Does this replace legal-specific practice management software?

Not always. SharePoint often complements legal practice management systems by improving secure document collaboration, storage, and Microsoft 365 governance.
