It’s impossible to overlook the transformative effects that widespread digitalization continues to have on the landscape of legal work, in particular, our relationship to information. Between the steadily compounding volume and complexity of data, and the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding its management, legal professionals increasingly require efficient, future-oriented solutions that won’t become antiquated after the next big technological advancement.
More than manifesting as a series of operational bottlenecks, the evolution of technology and its impact on legal work are creating a significant financial strain on legal teams and organizations. Two key forces are driving up ediscovery costs: massive data volumes and technological sprawl (we aren’t just reviewing email anymore).
