It’s no secret that the delivery of legal services continues to evolve, and technology has played a key role. The Web has made it easier to communicate and collaborate with clients, lawyers, and other law firms. It has also made finding a lawyer, or connecting lawyers with potential clients, easier. From timekeeping and billing to full-fledged cloud-based practice management, lawyers are finding ways to leverage technology to deliver legal services in a more cost-effective, even user-friendly, manner. Other aspects of law, like eDiscovery, can also be done via the Web, narrowing the number of legal areas still untouched by technological advances and online collaboration.
