2020 - What was the Big Tech advancement that helped attorneys this past decade?
/Happy New Year!
Lately, I have been reading many blogs and articles about what was the most significant technological advancement in the past decade. It got me thinking about what has been the best tech advancement for attorneys these past ten years? The advancement of technology has been a constant exponential boom since the transistor and Alan Turing's Machine and clearly has had an impact on the way we practice law.
These devices led us to home personal computers, then smartphones, and now we can have information everywhere, at any time, and on almost any electronic device. Computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones allow attorneys to be more flexible in how they work, when they work, and where they work. No longer do we have to carry massive files of documents to court, depositions, or even home (when we have to work from home - like that ever happens! 😉). This thinking brings me to what I believe to be the most essential technological advancement was for attorneys this past decade - cloud sync/storage.
The ability to work anywhere can only happen if we have our files with us. Regardless of the number of records we have, they are essential and likely necessary when we work on a client's case. Missing that one crucial document can defeat your plans to work - imagine what happens if you forget it for your client's trial, deposition, or meeting - Malpractice Alert!
Dropbox and Box are two leading cloud sync/storage popular with attorneys. Cloud sync/storage is something that has helped me, many of my friends and colleagues, and possibly you.

/In this episode, I talk with Dan Culhane, the owner of Discovery Genie. Dan and I discuss how his computer product helps attorneys of any firm size save time and money with discovery production for small- and mid-size cases. I think the listener will enjoy learning how to advance and simplify discovery production and case preparation while saving time and money. Both are recouped from having to manually create pdfs of files, notes, e-mails (and their attachments) and having to indexing their contents without the need for the larger and more expensive document production software. Enjoy!
