HighQ Legal Software Part 1: What You Need To Know
How HighQ can change the game for law firms and legal teams
HighQ has gone well beyond its previous role as a deal room platform and now offers law firms and legal teams intuitive automation and collaboration that can revolutionise how they work.
In part 1 of this 2-part series, we deep dive into HighQ, exploring what it can do for legal teams and law firms, and the possibilities available to teams with the right expert input.
What is HighQ?
HighQ is a collaboration platform, offering dedicated workspaces known as ‘sites’ for legal teams, clients, and third parties to work together and share information securely. The user-friendly platform brings key legal functions together to help you work efficiently all under the same tech roof.
It’s easily integrated with other platforms using Microsoft Power Automate, reducing the need to switch between tools, and it’s highly versatile due to its modular, configurable interface.
Sophisticated security allows secure document management and sharing, while granular permission controls enable teams and individuals to access the information they need without allowing open access to all data.
What can HighQ do for law firms and legal teams?
HighQ’s modular structure makes it super flexible and mouldable to a team’s specific needs. There’s a huge variety of discrete capabilities, that with the right expertise, can be optimised and combined to create near endless solutions. We’ve summarised a few key features of HighQ’ software below.
A comprehensive system that offers version control, access rights at various system levels, sharing, and integrations with other document management systems. Comments and tasks can be added to files, allowing seamless collaboration between users.
Create, assign and manage tasks with a variety of views (list, kanban and timeline), or use the dashboard for a snapshot of key metrics like priority, status, assignee and due date. Set reminders and exchange comments to stay on track and up to speed.
Automate processes across the HighQ platform for better consistency and streamlined time management. With customisable rules you can send notifications, update records, assign tasks to people, or trigger document generation based on values set in other modules.
Generate data-driven documents automatically by linking templates with embedded logic using Doc Auto (née Contract Express) with structured data (through iSheets given by the user or both). This module drafts accurate automated clauses, blending transaction specific details that are perfect for almost all documents including leases, NDA’s, and engagement letters.
Powerful visuals showing data such as outstanding tasks, activity turnaround time and trends of priority items. Choose from a variety of visual representations to best visualise your data and what it means.
Think Excel but focussed on Legal. For example, iSheet data can be used to automate data entry and workflows, drive dashboards, build forms and help automate documents. iSheets can also capture structured data such as heads of terms or client intake forms and be integrated with other systems.
Create a custom bank of knowledge using modules such as Wiki, Q&A, and blogging, to store guidelines, ask and answer questions, or other crucial information that needs to be easily accessible.
HighQ: More than secure file sharing and collaboration
HighQ is a versatile, possibility-driven platform that can revolutionise the way legal teams work internally and with their clients and third parties.
In Part 2, we look at the challenges IT teams can face trying to implement out of the box software, and ways to minimise these issues long-term.
