September 9, 2024

The integration of Cosmolex with NetDocuments brings two powerful features to your law firm’s toolkit:

  1. Seamless Client and Matter Sync: When you create new clients or matters in Cosmolex, they are automatically added to NetDocuments. This ensures that all legal information is consistently updated across both platforms without manual entry.
  2. Effortless Document Access: While working on a matter in Cosmolex, you can easily access the relevant documents stored in NetDocuments. This streamlined process allows legal professionals to quickly find and manage case-related documents, improving workflow efficiency and reducing the time spent switching between systems.

By leveraging this integration, law firms can enhance their operational efficiency and maintain a higher level of organization, ensuring that all critical information is just a click away.

NOTE: If you change a client or matter description in Cosmolex, you will also need to go into NetDocuments and change the description.

If you’re looking to integrate Cosmolex with NetDocuments, the instructions on Cosmolex’s website are quite comprehensive. However, they assume you’re setting up NetDocuments for the first time. Given that most law firms have a consultant set up NetDocuments you can skip directly to Step 10 in the instructions.
