LEGAL TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY: EVOLVING TO MEET AND SATISFY NEW MARKET EXPECTATION

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s the need to be willing to adapt.

There are no longer any valid excuses for failing to use technology. In the battle between remaining competitive and minding your bottom line, technology should be your weapon of choice.

It’s okay if you’re not quite there yet. Don’t let that stop you from striving to reach a certain level of tech competence to remain efficient and compliant.

Firms that think they can stick with the status quo and not embrace emerging legal tech tools will soon find themselves left behind and irrelevant to potential clients and talent alike.

One key offering that can help your firm stand out and grab the attention of talented individuals is investing in legal technology. Tech-savvy legal professionals now expect firms to provide tools that will enable them to work more efficiently. On top of that, using legal technology solutions often contributes to more interesting and fulfilling work.

What’s more, legal technology that boosts productivity and collaboration outside of the office also comes with the added benefit of being able to tap into a wider talent pool. An example of this is the virtual office created by ONEWORQ. Legal tech enthusiast can create their own virtual office, consult and outsource legal briefs via the oneworq platform, anytime and anywhere.

While legal technology won’t replace everything, it is the new norm in the legal field, bringing with it increased efficiency and productivity, improved workflows, and the ability to serve clients better.

Tech really does move that fast. To keep up, we must continue to evolve, try new things, and dedicate time to staying up to date.
