Your Roadmap to a Paperless Law Office

To achieve effective time, document and email management, we have to “get organized.” In order to be organized today, we absolutely must figure out how to manage digital information. According to one study, we receive via digital delivery (email, text, social media, on our phones, computers, etc.), the equivalent of 140 newspapers of information per day. This can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t have a system in place to process that digital information.

In most offices today, only 1 attorney in 10 has eliminated 90+% of the paper file. In other words, only 1 in 10 have stopped maintaining a paper file and rely solely on the digital file. While better than nothing, that needs to be significantly better.

The good news is that the tools necessary to eliminate paper are available, easy to use, and inexpensive. Of course, this hasn’t always been the case. Back in the 90s, scanners were very expensive and relatively slow. Document management systems weren’t very easy to use, and they were also expensive and made primarily for large organizations. Electronic storage space on servers was also expensive. Since that time, the tools have steadily improved as their costs have declined. Secure cloud storage is a highly competitive market, and therefore, there are many solutions available at a reasonable cost. As a result, the benefits of paper reduction now far outweigh the costs of implementing such a system.
