Today, law firms face the challenge of reducing risk and exposure associated with managing growing volumes of sensitive legal data while controlling costs. This information includes attorney-client communication, clients’ proprietary data, law firm employee personally identifiable information and other confidential information.
Should a law firm, or legal entity, experience downtime due to a server crash, power outage, ransomware attack or the like, and the firm are unable to work, it would mean significant lost revenue.
![]() Ransomware A problem for law firms when you factor the reluctance of many law firms to believe that they will ever be impacted, and the low level of resources dedicated to its prevention. Ransomware attacks are a disaster simply waiting to happen – take DLA Piper, with estimated revenues of $2.5 billion. A recent ransomware attack left the firm completely without access to its own email data across the globe for six days, with full recovery taking longer than two weeks |
![]() Embracing Technology Change New technology will drive IT system change in the legal industry. For example, machine learning to help with legal research, robot lawyers for routine cases such as parking tickets, mobile applications for tracking billable hours, performance tracking software, focus on efficiency driven by fixed outcome cases and provision of online legal services. These are all increasing the dependencies on IT storage and infrastructure |
