Even before the coronavirus pandemic sent the demand for legal technology solutions through the proverbial roof, tech has been gradually disrupting the law industry for well over a decade. This evolution has proven beneficial overall, but many firms and departmental offices in this field have hesitated to embrace it. 

Law firms that continue to make do with antiquated systems are hurting more than productivity. Imagine the time sink caused by manually performing tasks that are automated in modern offices. This not only cuts into your billable time but overburdens your staffers and limits your ability to scale up your services. Now is the time to take the next step and join the technological revolution or be left behind.  

The Future is Already Here

A trend repeatedly seen in study after study regarding law firms and client expectations is the desire for greater value in services. The Altman Weil "Law Firms in Transition 2020" survey found that 62.4% of participants collaborated with their clients to create alternative pricing plans in 2019. This finding shouldn't come as a surprise as the market has become more customer-centric over the past two years. 

Because clients have access to unlimited information in real-time via the web, they can make decisions more confidently and rapidly based on reviews and statistics shared online. Law firms and departments that have increased their utilization of legal technology focus on this aspect, earning loyalty to their brand through improved service experiences, transparency, flexible access, and streamlining operations to improve workflow and returns. 

This level of competition underscores the need not just to be aware of new legal technology but to use it and fuel your law office's success. 

Technological Competency Has Become Non-Negotiable

Legal professionals with the goal of creating a sustainable business model will need to improve their tech knowledge and apply it. Improved services delivery is beneficial when improving the following areas of your firm or department: overall technological competency, entity practice management, documentation automation, and other automated processes.

Leveraging state-of-the-art technological solutions can vastly enhance your current service offerings and ability to predict outcomes more accurately. At Athennian, we harness the latest tech tools to streamline workflows by automating routine tasks through powerful entity management software. 

Thanks to advancements in machine learning and AI in general, the potential for future automation of high-level tasks beyond document population and e-signing of documents is just around the corner. Studies have shown that this technology consistently outperforms a real person when classifying documentation and other related tasks involving categorization.
