Legal

The US legal industry includes around 165,000 law offices that generate annual revenue of $180 billion. The output of US legal services is forecast to grow at an annual compounded rate of 4.2 percent between 2007 and 2012.

Computer and communications technology have become essential for many law firms to handle administrative functions and conduct legal research, and, in some cases, to file documents with courts.

Technology growth and the growing global economy are creating large corporate customers who require a host of legal services. Corporate customers have a desire to use one law firm for all of their legal needs. In response, legal firms are growing bigger and adding expertise their clients want in new fields like antitrust and international law.

Most growth will occur in specialty fields, especially intellectual property and technology law. Rapid advances in technology fields such as biotechnology and pharmaceuticals will result both in more legal transactions and litigation.

Computer and communication technology have become essential for many law firms to handle administrative functions, conduct legal research, and support lawyers in the courtroom. All the law firm’s technology elements, both internal and external, must work together and be easily operated by partners and associates.

Our Solutions Advisors have worked with firms as they begin to provide access to information online. They can help your firm understand all the options of providing information to another source via technology. There are many ways to exchange emails, review and edit documents, and receive copies of filings but each firm is different and may need access to a variety of formats for safe information delivery.

Live Distance Learning specifically would be a great way to facilitate the sharing of information. With the many law firms that use videoconferencing internally for firm-wide departmental meetings and associate training sessions, this format is a great way to communicate for business meetings.
