PALO ALTO, Calif.--March 29, 2010--IntApp, Inc., the leading provider of risk management software for the legal industry, today announced that Dickstein Shapiro LLP, a multiservice law firm with approximately 400 attorneys nationwide, has selected IntApp Wall Builder to enforce confidentiality policies and track compliance across the firm.
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.
"Our firm is committed to responding appropriately to evolving industry rules for managing ethical screens and client confidentiality requirements," said Hollye Mann, Director of Risk and Compliance, Dickstein Shapiro LLP. "We considered multiple products, but Wall Builder was the clear choice because of its capabilities, wide adoption across the legal industry, and proven track record."
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, 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.
"Our firm proactively manages risk to protect our reputation, maximize Partner share value, and minimize disruption to client services. In choosing a product to improve the efficiency of our existing confidentiality and screening practices, we looked to peer firms for guidance, and repeatedly received the same recommendation – IntApp Wall Builder," said Brett C. Don, Chief Information Officer, Dickstein Shapiro LLP.
"We're very pleased to add Dickstein Shapiro to our growing client roster and look forward to supporting their ongoing confidentiality and risk management efforts," said Pat Archbold, head of IntApp's Risk Practice Group. "By using Wall Builder, the firm will be able to demonstrate that it's taking all available measures to comply with internal policies, client guidelines, regulatory requirements and industry rules for enforcing confidentiality controls and tracking compliance."
IntApp provides software products and services that enable law firms to increase revenue, ensure client confidentiality and maximize lawyer 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.
