NetDocuments, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Lehi, Utah, is a leading provider of cloud-based document management, email management, and collaboration software designed specifically for law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies worldwide. The company’s platform addresses the unique and complex needs of the legal industry by offering robust security, collaborative workflows, and efficient document handling.
The company’s origins trace back to the founders’ previous venture, SoftSolutions, which became a standard for secure document management in large law firms before evolving into NetDocuments with a vision to provide legal professionals easy access to documents through the cloud, well before cloud and SaaS technologies became mainstream. Despite early challenges including legal industry’s initial resistance to cloud adoption and financial difficulties, the founders’ commitment and team cohesion led to the company’s survival and growth.
NetDocuments has consistently pushed innovation in legal technology, forging partnerships such as with LexisNexis and Microsoft to enhance search functionality and integrate cloud services like Office 365. It remains unique in its transparency and reliability, boasting 100% uptime across all global service regions since January 2020.
Acquired by Warburg Pincus in 2021, NetDocuments continues to accelerate its growth, serving over 4,000 enterprise customers worldwide and maintaining its status as the most trusted cloud-based content services provider in the legal field. Its mission revolves around empowering individuals, teams, and firms to work more inspired and efficiently using cloud technology tailored for legal professionals.
The company’s culture emphasizes “winning together,” reflecting a strong team ethos that has been instrumental in overcoming market skepticism and scaling the business into a unicorn. NetDocuments aims to become the “Salesforce of legal,” a vision underlined by its continuous innovation and commitment to the legal technology market.
