The Legal IT Innovators Group has been around for a decade now, bringing together law firms to share expertise. Its members tell Neil Hodge about the biggest technology challenges facing lawyers, including a stark warning on cloud computing

Ten years ago a software vendor brought together a number of IT directors from law firms to get their views on what challenges the legal industry was facing, and what technologies and processes firms were using to meet them. The vendor initially proposed to support this group for 12 months “to see what happens”, but those attending welcomed the idea of having a platform to share experiences and information with industry peers, and decided to make it a permanent arrangement. Thus the Legal IT Innovators Group (LITIG) was born.
