What filing and storage setup does a law firm typically use?

Law firms are among the highest users of physical filing systems because of evidentiary and compliance requirements. Typical setup: lateral filing cabinets organized by client/matter number (most firms use numeric systems indexed to a database). Active matter files stay in accessible cabinets near the attorney team; closed matters move to archive storage after conclusion plus a waiting period. Legal-size filing capability is essential — most legal documents are on legal paper. Separate, locked storage for client originals (wills, deeds, stock certificates) is required. Many firms use file rooms with mobile high-density shelving to maximize capacity. Electronic document management supplements but doesn't eliminate the physical filing requirement in most legal contexts. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
