Current Climate
We are a very mobile society and our technology usage seems to increase with every passing day. Lawyers are no different. It is not uncommon to use the cloud for the practice of law using services such as practice management, document management, file storage, and multiple ways to communicate with clients. Solo attorneys in particular have embraced cloud services. The cloud has provided a secure, stable, cost-effective way to practice law.
