In an increasingly technological world, how can law firms use technology to facilitate human interaction? Many firms are experiencing national and international growth, but are uncertain how to manage a firm spanning hundreds or thousands of miles and sometimes even time zones. Some would argue that the use of technology in a more “human” manner is necessary to keep modern firms connected and unified.
Certainly, companies like Google and Facebook have led the charge in creating workplaces that are both synergistic and technologically sophisticated—even going so far as to implement open office plans without assigned offices. While this particular type of design plan is not feasible for many law firms, having a technologically robust collaborative space is valuable in both fostering a positive work environment and managing a growing firm.
