As the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. in early Spring of 2020, Selanders told us just how clear the value of NetDocuments became. JS: When I took over as Chair of the Firm in 2017, I asked about our disaster plan and was told 'you take your computer, and you go home and work.'

The legal technology marketplace is increasingly crowded, with features and functions often feeling similar or within reach of a competitor. What should really be the determining factor is whether or not a technology vendor understands your needs, stays informed on industry developments, and anticipates new regulations you will have to meet. In our experience, NetDocuments is just such a vendor and will continue to provide Kutak Rock with the competitive advantage we need to work inspired. I've sat in on the customer advisory boards and NetDocuments actually listens. They are anything but stagnant and look to practicing lawyers on how to continually improve and dial- in the service.
