Law Is at Forefront Of Big Data Revolution

The law industry may uphold some of Britain's oldest traditions, but it is
proving revolutionary when it comes to the use of new technology,
one expert has said.
Fergus Jarvis of OC&C Strategy Consultants, writing for Information
Age, said legal firms are driving big data adoption forwards as a
result of necessity among its professionals.
He pointed out that the sheer volume of paperwork is one reason why
new storage techniques have become essential.
"Law firms collect and produce thousands of briefs, memos, pleadings
and legal records and increasingly they are turning to big data
techniques to extract more value from that information," Mr Jarvis
commented.
This means they can make case work more efficient, as well as
carrying out research, pitch preparation and sales much faster.
Digitised storage is also making a difference to paralegals tasked with
looking for precedents, the expert said. Cases can automatically be
linked and quickly tracked down, instead of people having to trawl
through piles of folders to find an example they only vaguely
remember.
Another area in which big data is proving worth its weight in gold is the
sharing of documents and instant updating of information.
"This ensures that, on key topics like competition law, lawyers can
understand the latest case developments," Mr Jarvis remarked.
"Moving forward, law firms will be increasingly operating in an
environment where the cases they are working on will involve the
unravelling of huge data sets … those who do not adapt and embrace
the benefits of big data will quickly find themselves at a competitive
disadvantage," he concluded.
Earlier this month, Graeme Brown from Thompson & Brown Solicitors
in Glasgow told The Lawyer his firm has gone completely paperless.
He reported that it has increased efficiency and productivity, plus
employees are much happier that their information is sitting in a secure
data centre instead of being held on paper.
