Lawyers Weekly Talks About Online Collaboration

By Omar Ha-Redeye

ADVERTISEMENTS

Luigi Benetton of The Lawyers Weekly has a piece in the Aug. 21, 2009 issue on drafting and editing documents in real-time.

He discusses real-time applications like NetMeeting, and asynchronous platforms like wikis and traditional DMS.  He suggests the latter are more appropriate for lawyers who don’t collaborate as smoothly together.

I point out that the efficiencies created by collaboration tools help boost lawyer productivity, which can raise billable hours and improve work/life balance.  The amount of time learning new technologies is minimal compared to the returns over time.

Fostering more collaboration can  help avoid group-think, especially in highly hierarchical cultures like law firms.

Benetton also discusses why security fears may be unfounded, and the flexibility that these systems can provide to users.
