Emergent adds versatility-improving feature to Legal Kiosk

February 10, 2020

Emergent, a provider of document creation and file management software, has introduced its Legal Kiosk closing books feature to allow lawyers and their clients to work anytime, anywhere more comprehensively, according to a press release.

Several documents can be merged and downloaded into one virtual closing book. Once merged, the book will provide a title page, dividers and a bookmarked table of contents that enhances the experience with a clickable feature.

With the interactive table of contents, users can click on one of the documents they'd like to see from the list, and the system will display it within a complete, virtualized PDF book. This feature gives greater instant access, increased organization and client service perks not previously available. 

"Manageability is heightened when you can merge and download all of your documents as one PDF," Darren Cooper, president and CEO of Emergent, said in the press release. "Before the Legal Kiosk, this type of information was just too big for law firms to send via email and that greatly limited mobility. Thankfully now, gone are closing book flash drives, DVDs or less secure portal software programs that once made the sensitive documents available. Now authorized individuals can peruse documents safely and immediately, even on their mobile devices." 

Emergent pioneered the innovative concept of the Virtual Minute Book in 1999. Since then, coupled with the Virtual Vault, the portal software is now called the Legal Kiosk.
