Strap in for the ride — it’s time to go digital

The notion of the traditional law firm is fast diminishing, vanquished by technologies that are bringing both significant challenges and exciting solutions to the old model.

An SRA report has highlighted that as many as 160 UK law firms are at immediate risk of collapse: a stark warning to others to assess the role of technology in the legal delivery model.

Bull and Bason’s Law Firms in the Digital Age is a highly practical report with exclusive insight into Impact to Information, a ground-breaking new process for digital-age law firms.

Why you need to board the digital train

Law firms in the digital age are transforming across every dimension of their business model from market, people and finance, to risk, process and infrastructure.

Used well, technology can improve processes and efficiencies to have a positive impact on your firm’s profitability.

Bull and Bason’s report -- structured around the eight essential areas of business management in a professional firm -- forensically explores the impact of the digital age on law firms and provides the blueprint for lawyers and law firm managers to successfully respond to the opportunities of the digital age.
