Does your lawyer move at the speed of your business
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, technology available to businesses dramatically expanded. Likewise, the practice of law has embraced these technologies making it easier than ever for business lawyers to provide cost-effective and efficient services to their business clients. But is you lawyer embracing these technologies and being responsive to your business.
How has technology changed business law
Many years ago, I had a case against an older and very experienced attorney. He claimed that his client did not have to pay my client back on a promissory note because of a certain case precedent. Unfortunately for him, the case on which he built his whole client’s defense had been overruled. In just a few seconds using electronic research I was able to find that out. He was still looking things up the old way in actual books and was unaware of the change in the law. When I informed him about it, he confessed that he did not know how to do electronic research and did not even use e-mail.
He attorney was forced to concede the case. He refused to adopt new technologies and to adapt. As a result, he likely felt that the sun was setting on his legal career. His client, on the other hand, probably wanted a refund.

What technology can I use with my business lawyer
Technology available to attorneys is the same as any other business. They can conduct video consults with Skype or Zoom. Communicate efficiently through e-mail and use electronic discovery software to collect, sort, and produce documents in lawsuits without ever touching a paper document.
My experience with that older attorney stuck with me. It forces me to stay on the cutting edge of technology. By so doing I provide a cost-effective service to businesses and to keep up with the speed of business. If your business lawyer is not moving at the speed of your business, then get a new business lawyer.
