Case Study: Barrila Law achieves productivity, teamwork and remote, paperless efficiency with NetDocuments

Establishing a Culture of Productivity, Teamwork & Flexibility

Barrila Law, an 11‑year‑old Ontario firm (8 users) focused on real estate, corporate commercial, and wills & estates, faced decentralized document storage, “hoarding,” and a need for reliable remote access and collaboration. The firm chose NetDocuments and its cloud DMS plus SetBuilder to centralize documents, enforce shared storage, and move toward a paperless, web‑based operation.

NetDocuments implemented a cloud-based single repository and SetBuilder, enabling a serverless environment accessible from any device. The solution established a formal work‑from‑home policy (staff encouraged to work remotely at least once weekly), kept the firm operational during outages and the COVID‑19 shutdowns, eliminated printing/shredding overhead, and “saved our billing clerk hours” with SetBuilder — delivering clear gains in productivity, teamwork, and flexibility for Barrila Law.
