The accessibility of documents, in particular, has presented issues for law firms.
One of the top challenges faced by law firms as they shifted to a remote workforce has been the ability to access case-related information. Lawyers are becoming fully reliant on technology to ensure their businesses run smoothly and, now more than ever, count on cloud-based technologies to keep their law firms afloat despite the uncertain times.
This is all the more important in light of the current situation, where COVID-19 has forced lawyers across the country to shelter in place and work from home. Despite the passage of time, my reason for writing this column has never changed: My goal has always been to help small-firm lawyers make educated and informed decisions about their legal software options. It’s hard to believe more than two years have passed since I began to write this monthly legal technology column.
