Though important, cybersecurity for law firms takes a back seat to business and profit demands, according to Novitex and the Association of Legal Administrators’ (ALA) “2016 Report on Trends Impacting the Legal Industry,” a survey of over 800 law firms and legal administration professionals worldwide.

The report found that law firms across the globe were primarily concerned with bolstering their business operations and financial viability above all else. For example, around 24 percent of respondents cited each increasing net profits and attracting new clients as top concerns, while an additional 20 percent also cited increasing revenues as a top concern.
