In addition, traditional legal activities are becoming more complex and demanding. It is therefore necessary to better organize and manage the provision of legal services.
Today, legal departments and law firms must perform similarly to other companies and corporate divisions. On the other hand, in no other area are working and thinking methods so outdated and processes so rigid and entrenched as in the legal sector.
Within legal work, it is therefore not enough to simply embed a new technology. A completely new mindset is needed. And the best place to start is with the legal experts themselves. Because they know exactly how tools in law firms and legal departments need to be designed in order to be able to use them optimally for digital work.
