According to the survey results, at the time of the survey, law firms had plans to migrate certain functions to the cloud or were already using the cloud for the following types of processes: document management (37%), time and billing software (23%), and casemanagement (9%). Most useful tools during the pandemic.
Remote Work. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that employees can workfromhome and the firm can still operate efficiently. In fact, a study from Harvard suggests that at least 16% of employees will continue workingfromhome after the pandemic ends. 2020 brought unique challenges, too.
DK: My move to a Mac Mini with a large monitor reflects both the workfromhome approach and my reluctance to travel. RD: For my organization, 2021 was less about new technology and more about enhancing how we used remote work tools such as Office 365 and Adobe Cloud to continually improve our efficiency and security.
Licks Attorneys use their website as a one-stop resource to provide its global client base with up-to-date information that impacts casemanagement. 2020 forced us to be flexible, creative and problem-solve. Our firm has two clients: our actual clients and the referral attorneys we partner with on cases.

2020 was a year for the record books. Businesses, including law firms, are beginning to re-open, and employees are heading back to work. According to a recent survey , many firms had a more profitable year in 2020 compared to 2019. Some employees prefer to work remotely – and you should let them.
Every Wednesday, we’ll be posting a new report from one of our experts, so stay tuned! The 2022 ABA Legal Technology Survey Report showed the surge in cloud usage we expected after March 2020 starting to take off, led by solo lawyers. In 2021, 70% of respondents reported that they used cloud computing, up from 60% in 2021.
The onset of COVID in March of 2020 forced many attorneys to both adopt and become adept with these technologies. Whatever the reason, it would be interesting in future surveys to examine the sharp rise of casemanagement software in solo practitioners (32% to 45%) to the steep decline of usage among the 2-9 attorney demographic (61% to 46%).
