SharePoint for law firms

SharePoint that stays the same as the matter, in both directions

Every firm running a case management system alongside SharePoint eventually asks the same question, usually after somebody works for an hour on the wrong version of a demand letter: why is the copy in our document system not the same as the copy on the matter? Micronetbd sets up SharePoint for law firms and keeps it in two-way sync with Filevine through MatterOrbit, a certified Filevine integration, so an edit on either side lands on the other without a person copying files.

After hours the office line is answered by Workup Agent, our own AI receptionist: it takes your details and a person calls you back within one business day. The assistant in the corner of this page does the same.

What a law firm SharePoint setup covers

Libraries that match your matters, permissions that match your practice, and a sync that is sync, not a backup.

📁

Sites and libraries that mirror matters

Every matter mirrored into SharePoint sites and libraries near real time, in a structure your document team recognises.

⇆

Two-way sync, not a scheduled copy

An edit made in SharePoint lands back on the matter, and the reverse, without a person copying files. Filevine stays the record; SharePoint gets a live working copy.

⚖

A conflict rule you choose

Last writer wins, Filevine authoritative, SharePoint authoritative, keep both versions, or manual review in a queue. No silent overwrites.

🔒

Permissions and access

Microsoft Graph with Azure AD per-tenant consent, not a firm's own credentials. SOC 2 Type 2 controls apply.

📦

Migration and backfill

Existing documents brought across and verified before the webhooks take over. Firms moving onto Filevine at the same time get one project, not two vendors.

📊

Proof, not a status light

A log of every sync event, a queue of anything that conflicted, a retry history and volume over time. What your auditor asks for.

How setup runs

Nothing moves until you say so.

1

Setup call

Your case management structure, your SharePoint sites and libraries, your backfill volume and the conflict policy you want.

2

Mirror

Your current matter structure copied into a fresh SharePoint location, or mapped with exceptions per matter type.

3

Backfill and switch on

Existing documents brought across and verified, then the webhooks take over.

4

Run

The dashboard shows sync health, volume and the conflict queue; every event is in the audit trail.

5

Extend

OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive can be added as connectors later.

The full walkthrough, with the side by side

What two-way actually requires

If you are evaluating options, these are the four things that separate a real integration from a file copier. Ask about all of them.

  • Conflicts decided by a rule the firm chooses, never a silent overwrite
  • Loops prevented by sync-source metadata on every write, not patched with delays and retry caps
  • Names and paths handled: a name over Filevine's 250-character path limit is shortened to fit while the original is kept and queryable
  • A log of every sync event, a conflict queue, a retry history and volume over time
  • Near real time off webhooks, a 5-minute polling fallback, a nightly reconciliation sweep across every matter
  • Microsoft Graph with Azure AD per-tenant consent; SOC 2 Type 2 controls apply
