Document Scanning for Lawyers & Paralegals

Securely storing legal paperwork is crucial for law firms and solicitors - but it can take up valuable office space and precious employee time. By digitising sensitive records such as client files, disclosure agreements and witness statements, and accurately indexing and archiving the data contained within, we can help legal practices across the UK work more efficiently.

Accurate and easy indexing with legal document OCR

We use the latest scanning equipment and Optical Character Recognition technology to accurately capture the sensitive data contained within your legal documents. Once digitised, it can be organised in a way that suits your firm’s needs, letting you quickly and easily search your files by client name, case number or any other reference point you regularly use.

data capture for businesses

What type of legal documents can we scan?

Our bulk scanning service is perfect for any type of paper-based legal document you have. Contracts, deeds, wills, employee agreements and business plans are among the most common types of legal documents that we work with, alongside meeting minutes, non disclosure agreements and privacy policies. Our scanning and archiving service caters to projects of any size, with one-off scanning and on-going coverage options also available

Your legal data delivered your way

Once captured, we’ll work together to ensure your data is delivered in a format that suits you. While PDFs or searchable PDFs are the most common export option, we can also deliver legal documents as easy-to-store images such as TIFF or JPEG. Alternatively, our online storage system Pearl Cloud lets you securely access your data at the click of a button, regardless of location, while our document management system Halogen lets you host your own data and is built around your indexing needs.

Scanning with security at its core

We’ve spent almost twenty years working with legal firms, solicitors and law practices across the UK and understand how important data security and compliance is. That’s why our team of scanning professionals are highly trained and vetted, dedicated to delivering a service that’s GDPR compliant and accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, PCI, ICO and Cyber Essentials security standards. Our building is equipped with CCTV and monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week so you can rest easy knowing your documents are secure.

Why should you scan your legal documents?

It’s no secret that law firms contain a wealth of paperwork which regularly needs to be referenced, amended and securely stored for compliance reasons. With office space at a premium, holding onto physical legal documents can be costly, while manually editing or uploading them to electronic formats can result in human errors that could have disastrous consequences. Legal document scanning can help legal practices boost accuracy, save money and access key information quickly and easily, no matter where they are in the world.

Reasons to Digitise Your Legal Documents

Security

Physical documents are prone to be lost, stolen or damaged – digitising legal files will prevent that, as digital archives are a much safer option.

Saving Space

Boxes filled with paper documents take up considerable amounts of valuable space, which can be reclaimed by using OCR on the legal documents.

Easy Access

Conveniently indexed legal documents will provide the option to promptly retrieve, access and share required files at any given time.

You have done a fantastic job and I can't believe all of those 8 lever arch files have been condensed into that tiny USB. Thanks very much for all your help and I will definitely be in touch if we need any more scanning done in the future.
