In fact, leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a survey from the American Bar Association, almost half of all law firms operating in the United States did not utilize cloud software in management of their firm. This means that nearly half of all US law firms were ultimately blindsided by the unprecedented shutdown of all in-person businesses at the beginning of last year. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that cloud computing is the way of the future, something that must be capitalized upon sooner, rather than later. Firms that utilized cloud management of their business were exponentially more prepared for the instant shift to remote work than firms that did not- going forward, it may be wise to consider cloud computing and management as necessary insurance to run a business.

Let’s compare the benefit of the cloud to needing a grocery list for shopping. How many times has something unexpected happened- your child or spouse throws away the list on accident, or you lose said grocery list in some other way. If you only keep a physical, one-copy record of your grocery list, it will be lost to the ages. However, if you happened to jot down your grocery list onto your iPhone notes (thus utilizing the cloud), not only would it be impossible to lose the grocery list- you would be able to continue to add or otherwise edit your list at any time, from multiple different platforms- from your phone, tablet, or computer.

This is the benefit that the utilization of cloud computing can provide. Who knows what can happen- maybe you’re forced to stay home from the office on a sick day, or need to access relevant casework from somewhere other than your office. Having the cloud as a practice management resource allows you to be able to access your firm from anywhere in the world. By using the right type of cloud-based software, not only will your work become all the more accessible at any time, but it will also become more secure than ever.

This is where NuLaw becomes all the more relevant. Powered by Salesforce, and as one of the most all-inclusive practice management software providers on the market, NuLaw is able to handle everything- from intake, prospecting, and matter planning, to reporting, billing, and scheduling. Additionally, NuLaw integrates with a laundry list of third party software while keeping everything under wraps with the same top-notch security measures utilized by the United States Department of Defense. As the working world moves to the future, help your practice stay prepared for anything that may come it’s way, and invest in cloud computing sooner, rather than later.

Indeed, consolidation is one of the most important organizational aspects of our day to day lives. When you make a grocery shopping list, do you make a separate list for each aisle, or do you make one single list for everything you need for your trip? When you’re moving to a new home, do you throw everything into random boxes, or do you strategically fit everything into as few categorized boxes as possible, in order to be more efficient (as well as cost-effective) in the process of bringing everything from point A to point B? When you are running your legal practice, do you want to conduct your day-to-day agenda by clicking in and out of different apps and tabs, or do you want to conduct your business efficiently, through the usage of a single, all-inclusive platform?

This is made possible by utilization of a platform that touts the ability to manage software integrations. Essentially, these integrations streamline day-to-day tasks, and make it easier to not only organize your firm from the top-down, while also improving the cost-effective efficiency with which your firm operates. Think about how much frustration and stress in the day that you can mitigate by not constantly sifting through different platforms just to accomplish one task for one case. Again, referring to the previous analogy- how hard would it be to unpack in your new house or apartment if all of your belongings are spread across multiple mixed-item boxes, when you could’ve just put specific belongings for specific rooms into a single box? With the properly organized moving boxes (properly coordinated integrations), you never have to stress out trying to think about whether you have lost or forgotten something again. Integrations are a proactive measure for any legal practice.

For example, think of a communication integration with a Case Management Software, such as chatter. According to a recent blog from ActiveCampaign, “[software integration] adoption increases the quality of communication between [employees] and managers by 56.9% — meaning less time spent on misunderstandings and more time spent selling.”  Additionally, the blog continues on to state “[Practice management] apps can increase sales productivity by up to 34%. The learning curve can be steep — although a strategic implementation process softens it — but the results are more than worth it and can save your sales team tons of time.” Why continue using a system that continually clutters and otherwise complicates your day, when you can bring in a new system that improves upon finance and efficiency for your practice?

NuLaw understands that consolidation is key to running any business more efficiently than ever before. That is why we have so many integrations available with our software. Powered by Salesforce, manage your firm’s day-to-day operations while utilizing software such as SharePoint, Outlook, Office 365, Gmail, Google Calendar, Quickbooks, airSlate, Adobe Sign, Docusign, and NuPay- all from the single NuLaw dashboard! Managing your firm from a single all-inclusive platform has never been easier, or more efficient. With NuLaw, enjoy the time-saving power of software that just works.

Ignoring the future is no way to run a law firm. The future arrives every morning when the office is opened for the day. Morning after morning adds up to a long future that can make or break a firm. As for responding to it when it finally arrives, that is not a sound strategy either. Responding is not proactive. Responding is a strategy that always leaves you playing catch-up. You are always behind the eight ball.

Positioning for the future in advance puts your law firm ahead of the game. When you position your firm for the future, you are not playing follow the leader. You are the leader. That’s the way it should be.

Wave Goodbye to Legacy Software

The most important thing any law firm can do to position itself for the future is to transition away from legacy software. It is called ‘legacy software’ for a reason: its legacy is in the past. We are not dealing the past at NuLaw, we are dealing with the future. It is time to adopt software that serves the needs of the present but is also ready for the foreseeable future.

That sort software has a few key characteristics. First and foremost, it’s found in the cloud rather than on local servers. Cloud computing is both the present and the future; there is no getting around it. That’s why we developed NuLaw as a cloud-based case management app and built it on the Salesforce CRM package.

Another characteristic is scalability. If you’re thinking about the future with the right mindset, you are planning on growth and expansion. You need software that can scale up along with your firm. If your software doesn’t scale, you’re going to have problems.

Say Hello to Mobility

Your typical law firm is very familiar with smartphones. But how do staff attorneys and other employees use their phones? The fact is that mobility is now king of the internet. Your firm needs devices that can utilize all that this mobility brings to the table. Old cell phones that cannot run modern apps need to be retired.

If your firm utilizes tablets and laptops, the same thing applies. Updated devices make the best use of updated case management applications, billing software, communication applications, and so forth. They do so safely and securely – as long as they are maintained to proper security standards.

Embrace Automation and AI

Two of the things that sets NuLaw apart are automation and artificial intelligence (AI). Both technologies are built-in to our software for the purposes of making running a law practice more efficient and productive. Note that the two technologies are quickly being established as mainstays of legal practice software.

Automation saves time and increases efficiency. Artificial intelligence enhances case acquisition, billing, calendaring, and even e-discovery. If your firm’s legal software doesn’t utilize automation and AI, you’re already behind the times.

The future doesn’t remain the future forever. Eventually it becomes the present. This is why it’s so critical to position your law firm for the future in advance. The goal is to be ready when it arrives. If you’re not ready, all you can do is respond or ignore. Neither strategy is viable when you’re trying to grow a practice.
