Extract: Let’s talk numbers. The 2015 ILTA Tech Survey reports the input of 420 firms representing more than 88,000 attorneys and 185,000 total users. ILTA law firm members with less than 150 attorneys make up 66% (277 firms) of total responses. The survey report includes 142 questions portioned into 13 separate focus areas from ‘Annoyances and Trends’ to ‘Technology Spending’ to ‘Vendors’. The report includes all responses as well as correlated data (hence the survey length) broken out into segments by firm size.
Ever since the 2008 economic crash, we have been looking to re-define the current state of the legal market, and as a profession, have coined ‘the new normal’ as this evolution. Frivolous spending is out; gargantuan budgets are cut; less staff are supporting more legal professionals; clients are more demanding and in control of the client-outside counsel relationship; and firms are being pushed and themselves pushing to get the most out of technology … the applications and solutions they already own as well new acquisitions.
