PALO ALTO, Calif.--February 1, 2010--IntApp, Inc., the leading provider of risk management, time capture and integration software for the legal industry, today announced that Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, a full-service law firm with over 600 lawyers and 5 offices, has selected IntApp Wall Builder to enforce confidentiality policies and track compliance across the firm.
Katten Muchin made the strategic decision to invest in enhancing its existing confidentiality capabilities in response to evolving industry rules for managing ethical screens and stricter client requirements. The firm evaluated available product options and selected Wall Builder because of its extensive capabilities, wide adoption as the standard confidentiality management technology for the legal industry, and the proven track record and expertise offered by IntApp.
"Katten Muchin is taking strong steps to address the expanding confidentiality requirements facing law firms," said Pat Archbold, head of IntApp's Risk Practice Group. "We're proud to count them as part of the growing client community that's made Wall Builder the standard confidentiality management platform for law firms and look forward to supporting their continued success."
Wall Builder is a web-based confidentiality management application that enables organizations to centrally control, monitor and report on user access permissions across multiple applications including document management, accounting, portal, CRM, time entry and records management systems. It also automates notifications to individuals subject to specific policies and tracks acknowledgments for compliance purposes.
Law firms must closely manage and track internal access to client information for many reasons. These include waiver-driven ethical screens, client outside counsel guidelines, and compliance with regulations such as the HITECH Act, SEC, SOX, ITAR and European Union Market Abuse and Privacy Directives.
Wall Builder replaces distributed, ad hoc approaches to information security with a centralized system that provides organizations with unprecedented capability and control over user access to specific applications, documents and other information. It's the only product for law firms that delivers real-time enforcement while updating access rights in response to attorney behavior to ensure that policies are kept up to date automatically.
IntApp provides software products and services that enable law firms to increase revenue, ensure client confidentiality and maximize attorney productivity. With over 150 customers, including 50% of the 100 largest US firms as ranked by The American Lawyer, and a vibrant partner community, IntApp has been embraced and endorsed as an industry standard.
