Discovery
Delivering responsive documents to opposing counsel
Production sets of 1,000-10,000 docs as a single PDF or ZIP. Branded link, expiry matched to the discovery cutoff. Audit log proves delivery timestamp if compliance is challenged.
For solo attorneys & small firms.
Confidential delivery,
on your firm's domain.
Send discovery bundles and contracts from docs.yourfirm.com with passwords and expiry dates. Know exactly when opposing counsel opened the file.
Password protection · Link expiry on Pro · No client sign-up
For law firms + legal professionals
Send client files on your firm's domain — with the audit trail your bar association expects.
Law firms can't deliver discovery, contracts, or settlement papers through wetransfer.com — clients and opposing counsel reasonably question the provenance. BulkShare gives you docs.yourfirm.com with password protection, link expiry, per-recipient access logs, and TLS 1.3 encryption in transit + AES-256 at rest. Standard data-handling practices that satisfy most state bar confidentiality requirements.
Standard legal delivery workflow
- 1
Set up docs.yourfirm.com
Two-minute CNAME setup. From now on every shared file uses your firm's domain — which means opposing counsel, clients, and courts all see your brand on the link, not a third-party file-sharing service.
- 2
Upload privileged or discovery materials
Drop contracts, deposition transcripts, exhibits, settlement docs. AES-256 encrypted at rest. Each file is timestamped and logged.
- 3
Set password + expiry for sensitive material
For privileged or highly sensitive content, set a password (delivered out-of-band via phone or signed letter) and a hard expiry date matching your retention policy. Recipients can't share the link past the expiry.
- 4
Send and track access
Send the branded link via email. The audit log shows every access attempt — who, when, from what IP, success or password failure. Useful for both client billing ("opposing counsel reviewed the production on 2026-04-12") and discovery compliance.
Per-seat pricing scales with team size. BulkShare Studio is flat — 5 seats and 5 custom domains for one price.

Privacy
Privileged material handling — not an afterthought
Discovery, settlement docs, signed engagement letters — the work that most bar associations require be transmitted with "reasonable measures." BulkShare provides those measures by default: per-link password protection (no Pro upgrade required), AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, audit log for chain-of-custody, and configurable retention matching your firm's policy.
- Password on every link, delivered out-of-band by phone
- AES-256 encryption at rest (Cloudflare R2, US data residency)
- Per-access audit log admissible as proof of delivery
- Failed-password attempts logged — useful for compliance reviews
- Configurable expiry matches firm retention policy (30 days to 7 years)
Legal practice use cases
Client communication
Sending engagement letters + draft contracts
Initial engagement letter, fee schedule, draft contracts. Password-protected (the password is the client's last name + date of birth, delivered in the welcome call). Keeps the documents private even if email is later compromised.
Real estate
Closing packet to the title company
Signed contracts, disclosures, title work, insurance proofs. One branded link with all closing documents — easier than emailing 12 PDFs separately to the closer.
Estate planning
Will + trust documents to clients
Final signed documents delivered with 1-year expiry. Client gets a memorable branded link they can find later ("the link from the wills lawyer") without searching old email.
Litigation
Trial exhibits to co-counsel
Hundreds of exhibits organized by Bates number. Branded link, granted to specific recipients with individual passwords. Each download logged for chain-of-custody documentation.
Corporate
Due diligence document room
M&A diligence materials in one branded delivery. Password-protected, recipient-tracked. Lighter alternative to dedicated VDR platforms for sub-$10M transactions.

Legal-practice-specific tips
- 01
Always deliver passwords out-of-band
Send the link in one email, the password in a phone call or text message. Even if the email is later compromised, the materials stay protected. Standard reasonable-measures practice for privileged material.
- 02
Set expiry to match retention policy
If your firm's policy says client documents are accessible for 7 years post-matter, set link expiry to 7 years from delivery. Reduces the audit risk of indefinitely-accessible privileged material.
- 03
Use distinct subdomains for distinct practice areas
discovery.yourfirm.com for litigation, closings.yourfirm.com for real estate, docs.yourfirm.com for general. Helps internally organize and signals practice area to recipients.
- 04
Audit logs are admissible — keep them
Per-access audit logs are admissible evidence of delivery in most jurisdictions. Export and archive after major matters close. The log shows opposing counsel can't later claim "we never received that production."
- 05
Don't email passwords or send them in chat
Voice call, fax (yes really, still used), or hand-deliver. Texting works if you trust the recipient's phone security. Never put password in the same email as the link.
- 06
Branded links reduce "is this real?" calls
Clients with senior partners aren't always tech-savvy. docs.smithlawpartners.com immediately signals "this is from my lawyer." wetransfer.com/abc123 prompts a phone call to verify legitimacy — billable time you spend on hand-holding instead of work.

Common questions
Is BulkShare secure enough for confidential legal documents?
BulkShare stores files on Cloudflare R2 infrastructure and supports password protection on every shared link. For law firms, we recommend enabling password protection on all shares containing client-confidential materials and using link expiry to revoke access after a matter closes.
Can clients download legal documents without creating an account?
Yes. Recipients click your shared link and download immediately — no account sign-up, no third-party login, and no cloud storage subscription required. For password-protected shares, clients only need the password you provide.
Can I use my firm's domain for document delivery?
Yes. With BulkShare Pro you can connect a custom subdomain like docs.yourfirm.com or files.yourfirm.com so every delivery link carries your firm's brand instead of a generic file-transfer service domain.
Can I password-protect a discovery bundle or contract before sending it to opposing counsel?
Yes. You can set a password on any shared link. The password is communicated separately from the link, so even if the URL were intercepted, the files remain protected.
Can links expire after a matter closes or a deadline passes?
Yes. BulkShare Pro includes link expiry controls. You set a specific date after which the shared link stops working. This is important for maintaining confidentiality once a transaction closes or a case resolves.
