Litigators know that maintaining an overall theme is the key to a case’s success. But in the fog of litigation, lawyers can lose sight of the big-picture. They become so focused on specific facets of a case that they risk missing the forest for the trees. Technology is partly to blame. The technology tools litigators use are often so specific in their purpose that case work necessarily gets segmented and siloed.
With careful planning and the right tools, however, it is possible to take a more “holistic” approach to litigation and litigation technology. Different technology tools can be used in ways that complement each other so that you can more effectively connect the dots.
In this webinar, three former practicing lawyers will discuss the problems they faced as lawyers, the technology companies they have built to address these problems, and how their different platforms can be used in integrated ways to streamline everything from docket management and delivery to legal research and writing to case and knowledge management.
