Understanding the future
While technology applications can seem futuristic and complex, the benefits are transparently simple. You benefit from better ways to process information, the automation of repetitive tasks, improved storage and management of masses of data, and also gain meaning from the process, with easier document sharing and workflows. Making best use of technology solutions means increased efficiency, limited exposure to risk, more productive and motivated people, and more energy for creative thinking. The way we apply technology can mean better ways to work while saving time and money for in-house legal teams, the wider business and other law firms.
Technology x people = sustainable process
Whether it’s upgrading your existing systems or a radical rethink in technology solutions, understanding your needs is the crucial first step. Our experts listen to your legal, operations and business people to understand your financial goals and timeframes. Then we consult with you to design the right technology tools and help you implement them with training, guidance and support. There is no off-the-shelf approach because every situation is different. Our interest is in achieving a long-term, scalable set of benefits that enable and empower people to deliver their best.
From a litigation perspective, you gain advantages such as valuable litigation-readiness planning, better legal-hold processes and procedures, assistance with custodian interviews and collections (including early case assessment), document review and template production resources, a special and national eDiscovery counsel service, help with discovery negotiations and protocols, support with discovery motions practice, and deposition and trial support.
On the transactional and regulatory side, you gain the advantages of improved intake, organization and workflow, and of machine learning to quickly assess contract language and identify regulatory changes. In addition, you get analytics and reporting, providing greater transparency in your portfolio, allowing you to make informed business decisions.
