The Modern Law Firm
Over the past three decades, the legal industry has been turned upside down. Increasingly rapid advances in technology have radically changed everything about the way law firms operate—from attracting and retaining clients, to researching relevant case law, collaborating with colleagues, and filing documents.
With competition coming not just from other traditional law firms but also from online legal services, it’s more important than ever to differentiate your firm in a crowded marketplace.
Yet the majority of firms continue down the path of “business as usual” despite the whirlwind of change roaring outside their windows.
Will your firm be blindsided by the threats at hand and pay the price in lost business, lost talent, and lost revenue? Or will you face these threats head-on and learn how to turn them to your advantage so you can not just survive, but thrive?
Featuring the Technology Operational Maturity Level Self-Assessment
