Pandemic!!!!
By hearing this word our soul trembles!

During the COVID pandemic, Technology undoubtedly allowed a lot of legal firms to survive. Recent statistics show that 71% of legal firms employed technology to remain profitable.

That’s accurate! Law companies were able to continue operating throughout the epidemic owing to advances in Technology including virtual conferencing, online document sharing, and remote data access. It undoubtedly aided many attorneys in continuing to be productive and stay in touch with their clients.

Absolutely! Technology has made it simple for lawyers to work from home while maintaining the same level of service as they would in the office.

What additional technology did you think were helpful to law firms during the pandemic?

Well, I believe that cloud-based storage options also played a huge role in helping law firms during the pandemic.

Fortunately, Technology has helped many law firms remain resilient and continue operations during the pandemic.

So, how did law firms adapt to the pandemic?

Law firms adapted to the pandemic by implementing remote working solutions. This allowed them to continue operations without worrying about the health and safety of their employees.

Come and let’s discuss some key points:

  1. Utilizing Cloud Technology
    Is the Cloud Trustworthy Compared to Internal Systems?

    Although, there has long been a misconception!! that internal servers are more dependable and secure than cloud systems, this is no longer true.

    Since Cloud Servers can use a backup server in the event that the primary one should fail, they provide redundancy that is unmatched by internal servers.

    This results in less downtime and a significantly reduced chance of losing files due to device malfunction, damage, or a data breach.
  2. Video Conferencing
    So, how can you ensure that the meetings you hold each day are productive for your company rather than just consuming your time?

    Well!! This video conferencing facilitates communication and boosts efficiency.

    Law firms had to switch to virtual meetings and video conferencing in order to keep their clients informed and engaged. This has enabled them to establish strong relationships with their clients, even when they aren’t in the same room.
  3. Automation
    Are you stuck with manual process or using automation?

    Automation is helping law firms save time and money by streamlining processes and eliminating paperwork. Automated tasks such as document management, data entry, and document assembly can be done in a fraction of the time it would take someone to do them manually.
  4. Document Sharing
    We are becoming bored of hauling around document files, especially when we don’t actually need them. We constantly desire the security of our documents. In a pandemic situation, technology aids in improving our company.

    Law firms have been able to securely share documents with their clients using cloud-based document-sharing tools. This has enabled them to keep their clients up to date on the progress of their cases and remain compliant with legal requirements.

71% of the law firms who took measures to keep their productivity high during the COVID pandemic are still alive.

Successful law firms are moving away from competitiveness, and instead focusing on collaboration

Legal staffs designed agreements where they trade documents that give up control of clients in exchange for money from rivals- all the while mitigating risks.

With a cloud-based solution, you can confidently manage the business of your company by centralising tasks that are often spread across multiple systems for most organisations. Even while it’s tough to predict what will happen with COVID-19, one thing is for certain: Succeeding businesses are putting money into the cloud as a way to get ready for the future.
