Getting benefits from technology? An open and shut case.
The legal sector has been at the forefront of a series of disruptive changes in recent years.
Principally, the increased use of digital tools and greater flexibility around where and when people work. From the transition to hybrid working, to clients’ demand for faster response times, law firms have become more flexible than ever. But with greater flexibility comes the need for greater vigilance.
That’s where we can really help.
Inefficient manual processes feed on your valuable time. They take associates away from chargeable work. It’s no wonder that 77.2% of legal professionals say they're overwhelmed by information, resulting in 5.6 hours of billable work missed out every day by some law firms.
Creating a healthier relationship with the technology you work with can save you money, claw back valuable time, and improve your data security – from the back office to the courthouse, and everywhere in between.
Imagine not having to manually file each and every document or letter.
Imagine always being able to find what you need when you need it – instantly. Imagine a legal practice where the latest technology helped everyone make the most of their time.
In Transforming Legal Practices with Digital Innovation, we look at how automation can play a vital role within high-performing legal departments. You’ll find practical examples of how to overcome many common challenges by striking the right balance between physical and digital workflows, including:
Processing information faster.
Extracting vital data from a variety of sources.
Using scalable solutions to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of intellectual property.
Enhancing security and productivity in an increasingly hybrid workforce.
How does that work in the real world?
Lexitas employees save hundreds of hours each month
When submitting or filing court documents, Lexitas employees had to manually convert all digital exhibits received from their clients into readable PDFs. After identifying document types, employees had to stamp them and save them with a defined naming convention. At least, that’s how it was until Lexitas asked how Xerox could help. Using Xerox® RPA, we’ve helped simplify, standardize, and automate workflows that amount to about 250 hours of routine tasks each month. That’s thousands of hours saved per year – time that can be directed toward revenue-generating priorities.
Specialist law firm gives its attorneys 24/7 secure document access
Briefs, motions, supporting records – even a digitized law firm has a lot of information and documentation to contend with. We worked with this specialist law firm to create a system that could manage the volume and variety of documents it needs to store, organize, and access regularly. It had to be easy to use, secure, and robust enough to store thousands of pages of content. We thought that sounded a lot like Xerox® DocuShare®.
