Unifying the Legal Experience: How Litera's Technology Streamlines Workflows and Empowers Legal Teams
Legal professionals face a daily challenge of switching between tools over 1,200 times, leading to confusion, frustration, and low adoption rates. With 39% of lawyers citing a lack of time to learn new technologies and 53% feeling they lack the necessary tech skills, firms are left with underutilized software investments and minimal ROI.
The situation is further complicated by the sheer volume of information scattered across systems—forcing lawyers to spend up to 20 hours a week manually searching for documents, emails, and data. This not only disrupts workflow but also eats into valuable billable time that could be better spent serving clients and driving business growth.
Practical Strategies for Streamlining and Empowering Legal Teams
How can law firms and legal teams respond to these challenges? Many are turning to legal tech and GenAI to streamline processes and maximize productivity. Here are three key strategies:
- Consolidation: Simplifying tech stacks by consolidating tools can alleviate information overload. By reducing the number of platforms lawyers need to navigate, firms can create a more efficient and user-friendly environment that enhances productivity.
- End User Experience: Prioritizing technology that seamlessly integrates into the lawyer’s existing workflow is crucial. The best tools are intuitive and adaptable, allowing legal professionals to work efficiently without the steep learning curves that often hinder adoption.
- Performance and Stability: Lawyers’ time is too valuable to be wasted on slow, unstable applications. Ensuring that tech solutions are fast, reliable, and secure not only boosts user satisfaction but also maximizes ROI by driving higher adoption rates and fostering trust in the firm's technology investments.
