Technology Trends in Litigation

In today’s litigation things seem to be moving faster with attorneys and law firm staff in need of short-cuts, as well as time and cost savers. Technology-savvy firms have found solutions to several challenges including time management, travel expenses, case organization, staff attrition, HIPAA regulations, and security of discovery documents.  Through working with a technology-driven business partner law firms can reduce travel expenses, more effectively use time, work remotely, and be up to date with changing regulations. Litigators must also consider the long-term cost of preparing cases for trial using out-of-date technology which can detrimentally affect the jury’s attention.

Whether you utilize Desktop Video Conferencing to visualize the body language or facial expressions of a witness while reducing travel expenses and limit time spent sitting in airports; work with a company to organize and manage distribution of records while providing 24/7 access; utilize up-to-date 3 D graphics and animations to influence a jury; or outsource the scheduling of conference rooms and transcript organization, technology is key to the sustainability of every law practice.

Inefficiencies in your practice can lead to issues with trial preparation, limit the efficiency and ease of use of your records, decrease your litigation budget and your valuable time through unnecessary travel, and lose a jury’s attention. All to the disadvantage of your case.

Firms that are not working with business partners who are staying up to date with technology will find themselves further and further behind in upcoming years. Technology available today is different from even two years ago and will continue to evolve creating new ways of how we look at litigation in 2020 and beyond.
