NetDocuments helps Schofield Sweeney enhance legal services & drive strategic growth

Intelligent document management system supports firm's commitment to excellence and expansion

LONDON, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Schofield Sweeney, an award-winning full-service law firm with offices in Bradford, Leeds, Huddersfield, and London, has implemented NetDocuments, the leading cloud-based intelligent document management system (DMS) for legal professionals. This strategic move underscores the firm's dedication to delivering exceptional client service and its vision for sustainable growth.

Recognized in The Times Best Law Firms 2024 and The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024 and 2025, Schofield Sweeney has consistently demonstrated excellence in legal practice and workplace culture. The adoption of NetDocuments aligns with the firm's proactive approach to integrating innovative technologies that enhance efficiency and client satisfaction.

"Our decision to implement NetDocuments was driven by our commitment to providing the highest quality service to our clients," said Graham Sweeney, Managing Partner at Schofield Sweeney. "The platform's intuitive interface and robust features have streamlined our workflows, enabling our team to focus more on delivering strategic legal advice."

The transition to NetDocuments, managed by partner OneAdvanced, involved the seamless migration of over four million documents from their practice management system, Partner for Windows. This process was completed without disrupting daily operations, ensuring continuity of service for clients.

Key benefits already realized by the firm include:

• Enhanced Accessibility: Team members can securely access documents from any location, supporting flexible work arrangements and improving response times.
  
  
• Improved Collaboration: The platform's integration with Microsoft Office 365 and DocuSign facilitates real-time collaboration and efficient document handling.
  
  
• Future-Ready Infrastructure: NetDocuments scalability positions the firm to adapt to evolving client needs and technological advancements.

Schofield Sweeney has already begun investigating legal AI use cases, such as for reviewing documents, with NetDocuments ndMAX AI tools. Added Graham Sweeney, "We're not standing still. NetDocuments is supporting our growth journey as we work to deliver greater value to a growing client base and drive revenue. We are already enjoying the benefits on simple things such as finding documents in seconds instead of minutes, and NetDocuments gives us the agility to begin exploring use cases for new technologies like AI and semantic search."

Kerri Dearing, VP of International Business at NetDocuments, said: "Schofield Sweeney is making a smart, strategic investment in its future. By laying a strong foundation with NetDocuments, the firm isn't just adopting a document management system, it's creating a launchpad for innovation, flexibility and long-term success. We're proud to partner with a firm that understands how technology can enable them to deliver even more value to their clients, without losing sight of what already makes them great."
