Improving Efficiency: Finding the Best Legal Tech Solutions

Improving efficiency is an ever-important but never-ending aspect of maintaining and growing any business, including law firms. Having a finger on the pulse of technological advancement keeps a firm "in the know" of applications that can make their jobs easier, reduce overhead, and make their clients happier. Because only around 30 percent of law firms employ a technology specialist with the primary goal of keeping the firm at the cutting edge of innovations, the task of staying up to date with the best solutions often falls on lawyers themselves. In fact, most states have adopted ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.1's duty of technology competence, making lawyers directly responsible for keeping up to speed. Nevertheless, adapting to relevant technology is one of the biggest challenges facing law firms today.
