DLA Piper LLP is the second largest law firm in the world. It employs 3,200 lawyers located in 24
countries and 63 offices throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East,
and the United States. Some of the firm’s cases involve up to 300 lawyers from 40 different law firms.
The attorneys needed a way to collaborate and share documents among themselves, with clients,
and with attorneys from other law firms. DLA Piper decided to adopt eRoom, a Web-based
collaboration and document-sharing tool offered by EMC Corp. Attorneys and clients can use the
tool from their browsers anywhere in the world where they have access to the Internet. They can
initiate projects, track project status, have direct access to data, and know which project team
members are available at any time. They can also notify all parties involved of project and document
updates, use project management tools, and drag and drop files from and to their own local
computers. All databases, contracts, and other documentation are stored centrally. More than 3,000
DLA Piper attorneys, other attorneys, and client individuals use 1,500 eRooms to manage cases,
contracts, and projects. Using eRoom, the firm has saved 15,000 labor hours annually, used and
mailed significantly fewer paper documents, and reduced redundant work.
