There were two main themes to Matthew Browndorf’s article on litigation technology in the November/December 2002 issue of Legal IT. The first is that the latest challenge to IT departments “may so dramatically change the way cases are prepared in the UK courts that law firms unable to cope with the demands of their litigators will be second choice”. The second is: “Litigation technology is at its dawn in the UK…”

We agree that there are certainly challenges ahead and any law firm that cannot meet them will lose out. However, we do not consider that litigation technology is at its dawn in the UK.
