Why D&O Partners – Xerox is the Ideal Print Partner for Law Firms
Technology that supports legal practice
In a law firm, everything depends on precision, confidentiality, and efficiency. Legal files, pleadings, and contracts circulate daily in both digital and paper form. Document management is not a side task – it’s a core business process.
At D&O Partners, we understand that. As a certified Xerox partner, we combine deep expertise in print infrastructure with technology built for demanding environments. Our collaboration with Xerox delivers exactly what law firms need: reliability, security, and flexibility.
A sector with unique requirements
Why legal printing is different
The legal sector handles highly sensitive documents, tight deadlines, and structured file organization. Documents must be processed quickly, accurately, and securely. Often, the print environment is shared among lawyers, administrative staff, and interns. Without a proper system, disorganization and risk are just around the corner.
That’s why choosing the right technology partner is a strategic decision. It’s not just about hardware — it’s about how information flows within your practice: securely, efficiently, and traceably.
Security as a foundation
Confidentiality starts with your infrastructure
In the legal world, confidentiality isn’t optional — it’s a legal and ethical obligation. Yet print security is often overlooked. Xerox solutions offer advanced, enterprise-grade security — a must-have when we deploy systems in law offices.
Users must authenticate using a badge or PIN before their documents are released, preventing sensitive files from sitting unattended. End-to-end encryption ensures that documents scanned or printed can’t be intercepted during transmission.
Full control, lower risk
All activity is logged, meaning you can trace who printed or scanned what, and when. That kind of transparency is invaluable for compliance and internal audits.
Efficient document management for greater client focus
Automate repetitive tasks
Every lawyer knows how much time gets lost scanning, naming, and filing documents manually. This is where Xerox AltaLink and PrimeLink really shine. These devices automate daily workflows, such as:
- Scanning directly into a specific client folder or case file.
- Applying OCR to make scanned documents searchable.
- Auto-generating structured file names using client or case identifiers.
Less time wasted, fewer errors, and more billable hours.
Seamless integration with legal systems
These automated workflows can be integrated with popular document management systems like iManage, SharePoint, and Legalsense. The printer becomes part of your digital legal ecosystem — not an isolated device.
Scalable solutions for any size firm
Xerox PrimeLink: compact and powerful
For solo practitioners or small firms, the Xerox PrimeLink offers professional print quality in a compact footprint. It fits easily in smaller offices and handles everything from legal briefs to high-quality attachments.
Xerox AltaLink: robust and flexible
For larger practices with shared work environments, the Xerox AltaLink is a high-capacity, multifunction device that handles heavy volumes and complex workflows with ease. It includes cloud integration, user-based access, and personalized interfaces.
At D&O Partners, we ensure that the solution fits your actual workload, team size, and future growth.
Control over costs, with full transparency
Printing shouldn’t be a blind expense
In many firms, printing is an invisible cost — not because it’s expensive, but because it goes untracked. Xerox reporting tools allow you to allocate print usage by team, user, or even client matter.
This lets you:
- Monitor and manage usage.
- Assign print costs to client files.
- Set usage limits or rules.
- Generate regular reports for budgeting or billing purposes.
Clear insight means better control — and often, reduced costs.

Frequently asked questions
Why does printing in a law firm have particular requirements?
The legal sector handles sensitive documents, with tight deadlines and rigorous case structuring, all in a print environment often shared between lawyers, associates and administrative staff. Confidentiality there is not a luxury but a legal and ethical obligation. The issue is therefore not just the device, but how documents circulate securely throughout the firm.
How do you guarantee the confidentiality of printed documents?
With Xerox solutions, the user authenticates by badge or PIN code before releasing a document: no sensitive file is left unattended in the printer’s output tray. Full data encryption protects scanned or printed documents against interception, and every action is traceable — who printed or scanned what, and when — a direct asset for compliance and internal control.
Can you automate filing documents into client folders?
Yes. Xerox AltaLink and PrimeLink multifunction devices allow automatic scanning to a specific client folder, applying OCR to make documents searchable, and generating structured file names from case numbers or client names. These workflows integrate with legal document management software such as iManage, SharePoint or Legalsense: the printer becomes a digital extension of the firm.
Which printer should you choose based on the firm’s size?
For a sole practitioner or small firm, the Xerox PrimeLink offers professional quality in a compact format, ideal for presentations, appendices and case files. Larger firms turn to the Xerox AltaLink, designed for high volumes, complex workflows and multiple users. Our advisers always check that the solution matches your working pace and the size of your team.
Can prints be recharged to a case or a client?
Yes. Xerox reporting tools allow print volumes to be attributed to each user, team or client file. You can therefore recharge prints precisely to the clients concerned, apply rules (quotas, colour limitations) and analyse consumption habits to optimise costs. This transparency is particularly useful in a firm, where printing is often an unmeasured expense.
