It seems that life has never been as uncertain as it is today in 2020. Facing weeks and months of isolation, every business has to adapt and change to thrive. While the legal profession is highly regulated and one of the slowest to implement technological change, this pandemic showed that change is inevitable, even for neophyte / luddite lawyers.
Successful law firms today use technology not because it's cool, but because it's essential for their workflows and systems. Legal technology helps to accelerate and improve quality and efficiency of services, reduce unnecessary costs, improve accuracy, and substantially enhance client experience. It can be complex, because everything is changing all the time, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming to adopt technology in your business processes. But it becomes more and more necessary and can make your life much easier when addressing your legal function and business.
