Does your lawyer move at the speed of your business

How has technology changed business law Many years ago, I had a case against an older and very experienced attorney.  He claimed that his client did not have to pay my client back on a promissory note because of a certain case precedent. Unfortunately for him, the case on which he built his whole client’s defense had been overruled. In just a few seconds using electronic research I was able to find that out. He was still looking things up the old way in actual books and was unaware of the change in the law. When I informed him about it, he confessed that he did not know how to do electronic research and did not even use e-mail.
 
He attorney was forced to concede the case. He refused to adopt new technologies and to adapt. As a result, he likely felt that the sun was setting on his legal career. His client, on the other hand, probably wanted a refund.
 What technology can I use with my business lawyer Technology available to attorneys is the same as any other business. They can conduct video consults with Skype or Zoom. Communicate efficiently through e-mail and use electronic discovery software to collect, sort, and produce documents in lawsuits without ever touching a paper document.
 
My experience with that older attorney stuck with me. It forces me to stay on the cutting edge of technology. By so doing I provide a cost-effective service to businesses and to keep up with the speed of business. If your business lawyer is not moving at the speed of your business, then get a new business lawyer.
