If your law firm isn’t investing in technology, make this the year that you look at changes that can make your practice more efficient – and effective.
The legal industry, like the tech industry, is rapidly changing. And technology can help move your practice forward – making you more productive and successful.
So, here are a few reasons your law firm needs to invest in technology this year. Read on:
- Productivity: Technology can automate tasks that free up your employees for other things – such as reviewing documents, legal research, time management and more. That means your team can focus on the complex legal work only they can do. Technology can help your employees increase billable hours if you use things like legal research databases and e-discovery software.
- Better interaction with clients: Let’s face it. Your clients come to you expecting the best of the best – and they want a modern law firm with quick, accurate and cost-effective legal services. And one way to get there is technology. A happy client is a client who will not only return to you but refer you to friends and family.
- Cost savings: Technology might be an investment at first, but it can also pay off down the road in cost savings. If you go to a cloud-based records system for example, it can pay off in not having to have someone do these tasks manually. Also, AI is becoming indispensable, and an AI powered research tool can save you time and money as opposed to the time involved with other research techniques and tools.
- If you aren’t concerned with data security, you should be. Law firms are increasingly targets of bad actors who want to steal data. According to the American Bar Association, about 29% of law firms reported a data breach in 2023. By investing in technology, you can better protect your client’s data and confidentiality. It also makes it easier to comply with regulatory requirements.
