Revamping technology applications in a law firm is no small task, necessitating input from multiple roles within the firm. In a recent episode of the Non-Eventcast podcast, an entire law firm came on board to share their collective experience of undertaking technology updates.
The team encompassed a broad spectrum of roles in the firm, including attorney Cindy Runge, lead administrator and paralegal Peter Fitzgerald, and law clerk and future lawyer Sarah Zweerink. The multi-faceted discussion they provided allowed listeners an empathetic and practical view of implementing technological changes in a law firm.
They began by discussing the adoption of case management software, elaborating specifically on how the team managed to integrate this tool with others. Further along, they detailed how they selected and implemented document assembly software. This open conversation allows firms planning similar tech renovations a window into the process, aiding with future implementations.
Finally, the group deliberated on shifting their IT support from an ad hoc provider to a managed service provider (MSP) for the first time, another important switch for firms aiming to streamline their operations to fit today’s dynamic environment.
For a detailed guide and blueprint on adopting a team-oriented approach to introducing new software into your law firm, the podcast episode and the Practice Management section are beneficial resources.
