The organisation and manipulation of electronic documents presents a mounting challenge to law firms and litigation support departments of all types and sizes. Recent major advances in software architecture and technology, along with the increasingly litigious corporate environment and the rising importance of e-disclosure, are factors that are pushing the legal profession towards new technology which maximises workflow efficiency and results.
Of course, technology of this nature is not new to the market. But my recent experiences – particularly conversations with in-house corporate legal departments – lead me to believe that many lawyers probably associate electronic litigation support solutions with severe problems.
