Unlike law firms, the cryptocurrency payment craze hasn’t hit legal tech companies or alternative legal service providers (ALSPs) yet. But the volatile cryptocurrency market isn’t the only factor pushing these companies away from digital coins. They also point to clients’ lukewarm enthusiasm toward cryptocurrency as keeping digital payments a distant reality for their market.
