When legal teams use outdated technology, they face multiple challenges, including rising legal costs, compliance gaps, and an inability to scale up effectively. Most often, legal professionals cite outdated design, lack of automation, and missing integrations as the most critical entity management inefficiencies.

Below, we discuss the costs of using outdated systems, outline the entity management software risks, and explore the benefits of modernizing legal technology.

The Costs of Sticking with Outdated Entity Management Software

When in-house counsel work with outdated legal software, teams may face one or more of the following challenges:

  • Compliance Errors: Working with deficient legal technology that lacks essential functionality, such as deadline tracking or automated workflows, can lead to omissions and compliance gaps.
  • Increased Reliance on External Counsel: When compliance technology does not provide the needed capabilities, legal teams must extend their reliance on external counsel to keep up with increasing workloads.
  • Duplication and Manual Work: Legal teams using older technology often employ duplicative processes and manual work to compensate for a lack of functionality.
  • Lack of Confidence: Inefficiencies and duplicative processes associated with legacy tools can lead to omissions, subpar record-keeping, and a lack of confidence in corporate data.
  • Limited Scalability: Older legal tech solutions do not offer the scalability required for legal teams managing modern compliance in global organizations.
  • Rising Legal Costs: Low efficiency and compliance gaps can potentially result in increased compliance software risks and legal costs.

Taking the Next Step in Compliance Management

Outdated software isn't just inconvenient—it poses compliance risks, holding legal teams back while increasing costs.

By transitioning to modern technology, in-house counsel can reduce legal expenses, minimize reliance on external counsel, and achieve scalability with automated workflows, robust integrations, and advanced AI tools.
