Should You Consider a Virtual Law Firm?
Are you still debating a move to “the cloud?” Many small law firms are successfully moving part – or even all – of their practice to a virtual setting through the cloud.
According to the 2016 ABA Legal Technology Survey Report, 46% of 2 to 9 attorney firms, and 42% of solo attorneys are using cloud-based software for law related tasks. Small law firms that are using cloud computing rate their top 3 important benefits as:
1) Easy browser access from anywhere
2) 24 x 7 availability
3) Low cost of entry and predictable monthly expense
The majority of firms plan to continue using cloud computing solutions in the future. According to the 2016 ILTA/InsideLegal Technology Purchasing Survey, 61% of small law firms believe more than half of their software could be cloud-based within the next 1 to 3 years. If you haven’t considered using cloud technology now is the time – without it you are limiting your ability to keep up with the firm around the corner.
Whether you implement a fully virtual law firm that no longer requires physical office space or decide on a partially virtual law firm, adopting cloud technology as part of the plan will produce significant cost savings and improve your ability to better serve your clients.
