Technology is an important field of Law Firm Operations and success in this field requires a strong understanding of legal-specific technologies, as well as an ability to identify new technologies that can help to drive improvements in Law Firm Operations.

People

Overall, people are a critical component of Law Firm Operations, and success in this field requires strong collaboration, communication, and relationship-building skills.

Law firms and legal departments have traditionally been slow to adopt new technologies, but in recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of technology in optimizing legal operations.
