Law Firm Cloud Adoption: Compliance is No Longer a Barrier

Law Firm Cloud Adoption Benefits

The legal sector, which has traditionally relied on pen and paper, does not exist in a bubble. As a law firm, many of your clients – and competitors – are using cloud technology to deliver tangible benefits. Let’s take a look at some of the key benefits law firm cloud adoption can deliver:

• Automate case workload. Cloud-based automation capabilities allow your law firm to automate more straightforward case workload activities. This frees up your fee earners to focus on more complex – and lucrative – case work, increasing their billable hours.
• Gain visibility on clients. Data management tools enable law firms to analyse the huge volume of data they hold on clients, giving their people an end-to-end view of their clients that enables them to make informed decisions.
• Deliver secure data access. Lawyers need access to information in a secure manner that facilitates the straightforward tracking of versions and citations in order to carry out their roles effectively. Microsoft 365 and Teams allow information to be accessed and shared securely, regardless of where your lawyers are working.
• Foster communication and collaboration. In today’s volatile operating landscape, law firms need to be agile and flexible in the way they enable their people. Microsoft 365 and Teams allow for seamless communication and collaboration, enabling your people to collaborate and focus in an intuitive manner that always meets their most pressing needs.
• Reimagine the role of the office. The office will be reimagined in the post-COVID world. For many law firms, moving to a cloud-based model that leverages Microsoft 365 and Teams will lead to an evolution in the role of the office. We may well see a move away from seas of desks to focus on meeting rooms and collaborative spaces in order to satisfy this need.
• Remain secure at all times. It can take a leap of faith, but Microsoft 365 and Teams – when configured and managed appropriately – can be made inherently more secure than pen and paper or local server-based infrastructures.
