Fox Rothschild Enhances Firm Confidentiality Management with IntApp Wall Builder

May 25, 2010 - PRLog -- PALO ALTO, Calif.--May 24, 2010--IntApp, Inc., the leading provider of risk management software for the legal industry, today announced that Fox Rothschild LLP, a full-service law firm built to serve business leaders, with more than 475 lawyers in 15 offices coast to coast, uses IntApp Wall Builder to assist with internal confidentiality policies, enforce information access restrictions and track compliance across the firm.

Wall Builder is a web-based confidentiality management application that enables organizations to centrally control, monitor and report on user access permissions across multiple applications including document management, accounting, portal, CRM, time entry and records management systems. It also automates notifications to individuals subject to specific policies and tracks acknowledgments for compliance purposes.

"We adopted IntApp Wall Builder as part of our continuing efforts to assess and enhance our risk management, compliance and client service practices," said Thomas D. Paradise, General Counsel, Fox Rothschild LLP. "We chose IntApp because they provide more than technology, they have established themselves as a leader in law firm confidentiality management, and we benefit from the ongoing education programs they offer on existing and emerging compliance issues facing the industry."

Law firms must closely manage and track internal access to client information for many reasons. These include waiver-driven ethical screens, client outside counsel guidelines, and compliance with regulations such as the HITECH Act, ITAR and several data privacy laws.

Wall Builder replaces distributed, ad hoc approaches to information security with a centralized system that provides organizations with unprecedented capability and control over user access to specific applications, documents and other information. It’s the only product for law firms that delivers real-time enforcement while updating access rights in response to attorney behavior to ensure that policies are kept up to date automatically.

"Wall Builder enables our firm to create, communicate, enforce and track confidentiality policies through a single, straightforward interface," said Brook Lee, Chief Information Officer, Fox Rothschild LLP. "We appreciate that IntApp developed technology that integrates with our existing business processes and software infrastructure, including our Open Text DM5 and LegalKEY applications."

"With so much law firm information created, stored and searched electronically, firms need to take their confidentiality management and compliance obligations seriously," said Pat Archbold, head of IntApp's Risk Practice Group. "Fox Rothschild is part of a growing community of law firms leveraging the industry's standard confidentiality management software to protect the interests of the firm and its clients."
