Areias Advogados Boosts Client Experience with HighQ

Committed to driving internal collaboration and improving client experience, Portuguese law firm Areias Advogados has adopted Thomson Reuters® HighQ, the connected, automated workplace collaboration solution that facilitates and streamlines project, litigation, transaction, portfolio, and compliance management all in one place.

With offices in Chaves, Porto, and Lisbon, Areias Advogados is driven by a client-centric approach based on the values of collaboration, transparency, and predictability. Delivering legal advice, legal project management, and legal operations services, the firm works across practice areas, including corporate and M&A, tax, restructuring and insolvency, employment and immigration, intellectual property, and real estate and construction. 

The firm’s adoption of HighQ has significantly upgraded its client collaboration technology. Utilizing the best-in-class, user-friendly cloud-based platform for efficient remote interaction, file sharing, and project management has enabled the firm to expand its present legal operations services. The configurable dashboards—which include status and activity tracking, as well as powerful data visualization tools—sit at the heart of the firm’s planned reorganization of its knowledge management center and approach. 

In addition, the HighQ social collaboration solution will significantly improve internal team interaction and collaboration. Email traffic will be reduced by moving group conversations and discussions into an activity stream, ensuring real-time sharing of information between colleagues, regardless of time or location. Furthermore, the automated workflow and document automation will propel productivity and efficiency, streamlining project management by standardizing and automating time-consuming work processes.
