One of Norway’s largest law firms, Wiersholm, has chosen HighQ Collaborate as platform to provide data rooms and client extranets to its customers, and for internal collaboration.

Navid Behrouz, CIO at Wiersholm, explains how the firm came to use HighQ Collaborate: “Previously, we hadn’t had a client extranet and would communicate with clients via email. Our clients began to request a place that they could easily and securely share documents and upload contracts.”

The firm also plan to use Collaborate for its integrated deal rooms: “For deals in the past, we had used several different data room providers, depending on the size of the project and client preference but we wanted to pick one provider to handle all our deals in one place,” said Navid. “It’s great we can have our client portal and deal rooms on the same system.”

Wiersholm is also planning to use Collaborate for internal projects: “It will be good to provide our employees with a place to collaborate with each other.”

After hearing about HighQ through other law firms and being impressed by how the system works, Wiersholm chose HighQ Collaborate for its multi-usage platform and ease of use. “We knew many other law firms were using Collaborate and we were impressed by its multiple use cases, flexibility and usability,” said Navid. “It provides us with nearly everything we’ve been looking for and all on one system.”

Navid said it’s early days but the firm are excited about implementing Collaborate: “We haven’t got Collaborate all set up yet but we are  interested to find out about all the ways it can be used.”

Stefan Beishuizen, Sales and Business Development Manager Europe, at HighQ says: “We are very proud to welcome Wiersholm as our new client. Wiersholm is a leading firm in Norway and we are excited to part of their future plans. We are looking forward to seeing HighQ Collaborate used as an integral part of the firm, leveraging both the external and internal collaboration capabilities. Following the launch in the next few weeks we are convinced that HighQ Collaborate will be of great value to Wiersholm going forward.”
