Preparing for complex litigation has traditionally been a collaborative effort among large teams of attorneys and paralegals, firms, and corporate counsels. To complicate matters, recent global events have only intensified the pressure to empower remote legal professionals with the right technology and tools to remain collaborative and productive.

To help alleviate these concerns, we've created the legal industry's first free narrative-building toolkit: Storybuilder by Everlaw. Download this white paper where we explore how this tool provides legal teams with a fully collaborative environment to build their cases and prepare remotely for litigation. Additionally, we cover:

The current challenges with building cases.

How Storybuilder by Everlaw solves these challenges.

What legal professionals can specifically do with this tool.

In-Place Preservation (IPP) has been discussed for several years in the legal technology industry, but many still may be unsure of what it is and how it’s used. By implementing IPP tools into your workflows, your legal team can better manage and understand the data volume and its scope.

Due to the increased dependence on cloud-based tools, security concerns have become top-of-mind for law firms. The collaborative nature of the litigation and discovery process inherently makes protecting sensitive and privileged data a top priority. And with new legislation, compliance with data privacy regulations and security certificates has become even more necessary.

• Why security is important.
• Security best practices while working remotely.

It is no longer possible to be a renaissance man or woman in the legal environment – there’s just too much to know, and too much to do.

Two trends currently present in law – increased specialization and the growing complexity of legal issues – are creating a demand for attorneys with skill sets and technical expertise that revolve around collaboration to solve multifaceted issues. 

Simply put, collaboration increasingly underpins the practice of law.

Technology has changed how we work. However, it’s also changing where we work. Employees are growing tired of long daily commutes and steep real estate prices in major cities. 

With the right communications technology in place, you can enable workers to be anywhere.

Download this white paper and explore how law firms can:

• Save an average of $11,000 annually for each work-from-home employee. Simultaneously, workers save between $2,000 and $7,000 each year. That adds up to approximately $15,500 in total savings per employee!
• A Stanford University report found that among telecommuters, turnover rates decreased by more than 50 percent. That avoids the hiring costs of about $4,000 per position.
• Additionally, working from home can have a positive impact on workplace culture, a metric that's so important, millennials would be willing to take an average pay cut of $7,600 for a better quality work environment and work/life balance.

A cybersecurity incident for your firm or clients can be an overwhelming experience, resulting in infected endpoints, data theft, user disruption, extortion and even outages that cause business interruption and are more costly than ever. Traditionally, the approach to recovery is to “tear down and rebuild everything” to eradicate a threat.

It is apparent that a more efficient and effective approach to recovery is essential — one that can eradicate persistent and destructive attacks rapidly and with minimal disruption.

Download this white paper to explore the traditional recovery approach from a cybersecurity incident versus a new approach that uses threat intelligence and real-time response with enterprise-wide endpoint visibility to surgically remove them rapidly. You’ll learn:

• Why a new recovery approach is needed
• The benefits of an intelligence-led, rapid recovery approach
• Three use case scenarios comparing an intelligence led, rapid recovery approach to traditional methods
