It is clear that law firms are reaching a tipping point: either embrace technological innovation or face reputational damage. Managing case evidence and documentation is a critical task for law firms. It is now widely acknowledged that implementing legal technology offers significant efficiency and financial gains.
Yet, there are also significant environmental, social and governance benefits from the smarter management of evidence that are all too often overlooked. With the need to stay competitive and retain personnel—and in the current environment, support remote working and collaboration—now is the time to combine the right technology with legal expertise to deliver more for your clients.
Are you perpetuating wasteful processes?
Using an environmentally conscious law firm is increasingly important to clients. The legal sector has traditionally used paper heavy processes to share case documentation. The status quo requires the scanning, printing, duplication, storage, transportation to various parties and secure disposal of paper-based case documentation.
This wasteful, unsustainable practice has a significant impact on your firm's carbon emissions. Electronic evidence management systems now enable case evidence to be securely stored in the cloud and then shared with relevant parties when needed. With each participant accessing the same case evidence in a central repository from their own device there is no longer a need for paper to be duplicated and transported multiple times.
