IP attorneys seeking anytime, anywhere access to their documents stored in First To File‘s document management system will be pleased with the announcement of its first app for the iPhone and the iPad. The San Mateo, Calif.-based company plans to release an Android version of the app sometime later this year.

The iOS app redirects documents stored in First To File’s web-based Electronic File Room (or EFR for Trademarks) that the user selects to open in the appropriate document application on the mobile device, according to Jennifer Cobb, vice president of marketing. These include most major document applications including Microsoft Word and PDF documents. “We are document agnostic,” explains Kurt Wedel, vice president of sales and operations. “The customer could have their own proprietary app that runs on an iPhone and we’d work with that.” For now, the app opens documents in read-only mode — any attorney hoping to edit case documents on their iPads will have to wait for a later version.
