Major law firms are being asked to do more with fewer personnel, and with lawyers taking a lot of the work previously given to administrators, practice management technology has become a more ubiquitous component of the workflow.
As found in the American Bar Association’s 2016 Technology Report, practice management technology use at large firms (500+ personnel) has jumped in the last year alone by about 40 percent. Among the major firms using this technology is Winston & Strawn, an international firm that touts a team of 850-plus attorneys and expertise with technology around issues facing law firms worldwide.
