My continuous involvement in the digital transformation<\/strong> and digitization<\/strong> of law firms (small and medium-sized) in Spain, allows me to confirm to you the permanent eagerness to become more productive from the IT<\/strong> point of view. The increase in the volume of data handled and the (ever-increasing) digital education of young lawyers and clients, hasten the need to implement applications and secure the technological environment. The goal is to spend less time on low value-added<\/strong> or non-billable tasks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

A ransomware attack<\/strong> (encryption of content in exchange for a reward) paralyzes an office until the backup is lifted to see if it is sufficient. An application allows to classify, sort and index all the documentation of a 350 GB Due Diligence. These are clear examples of LegalTech helping to increase billable hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Cybersecurity boosts productivity in law firms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Today I will talk about how \n good cybersecurity<\/span>\n<\/a> makes an office more productive.<\/p>\n\n

An attack on a law firm’s IT security can represent between 5,000 and 10,000 \u20ac\/hour<\/strong> due to the loss of goodwill, trust, business, time spent resolving the incident, hiring of experts and even fines (e.g. RGPD).<\/p>\n\n

These can be intentional attacks carried out by humans or, more often, by machines working for people looking for vulnerabilities on a large scale. Let’s get away from the typical “Why would they attack my office if it’s small?”. The answer is clear: because<\/strong> a machine can locate it and exploit the sensitive data of your customers and employees<\/strong>, and this should not be disclosed under any circumstances. Any improvement in the security of a law firm is important.<\/p>\n\n

But how much time and effort do we spend on lost or stolen equipment? How long does it take us to determine what information a professional who decides to go to a competitor has taken with him or her? What about negotiating with another party to gain access to data about a file or profile hosted in a public domain, low security environment (e.g. Dropbox Public)?<\/p>\n\n

Digital tools that help lawyers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

With good tools and measurements, you can spend more time on your customers’ problems<\/strong>. To this end:<\/p>\n\n
