As a small legal startup, determining what technology is required is difficult. There are no shortage of opinions and options available. With technology not being the firm’s’ expertise, where to start is a problem. Is the cloud safe, who should host email? Is PCLaw the best option? Can remote legal staff be secure while working remotely and when necessary.
What’s needed is a team to assist with what the options are. So, an informed decision can be made. IT decisions for the firm will be a joint decision between attorneys.
A startup legal team of 4 staff. This includes two litigators, a law clerk, and a paralegal. A full service IT department in downtown Toronto is important. An IT firm dedicated to lawyers is required. The firm will have a remote law office in Niagara Falls.
The solution needs to be right, but cost effective.
