The legal industry is now focusing more on changes in Information Technology. Case Management Software, document management, email encryption, time tracking, billing contacts, case calendars and more have created an even greater dependency on IT infrastructure security, performance, and reliability. Document collaboration, video conferencing and mobile devices are making IT security a critical business problem. However, with all of these demands on IT, very few legal firms have adapted to IT demands and needs. Lawyers and their clients face a risk from IT changes
