COVID-19 has undoubtedly served as a catalyst for technological revolution within the legal industry. In addition to shifting away from brick-and-mortar workspaces, the pandemic has pressed law firms and factions of the legal industry (including the judiciary), to employ alternatives to traditional in-person collaboration that may endure long after the virus subsides.

For example, many employers have relied exclusively on technology for remote attorney onboarding during this time. The key to success: streamlined and team-oriented systems that minimize excessive paperwork and physical documents. More than ever, law firms are readily turning to web-based software like Microsoft Teams as an alternative to in-person collaboration.
