The computerization of lawyers began in the 80s. The digitalization of the world has since gone through 4 successive phases that lawyers have followed valiantly. The choice of a lawyer software was carried out by approximately one in two firms.
Lawyers began to equip themselves with software (office software in particular) from the 80s. Then the 2000s saw the arrival of a new generation of software, more complete but also more complex: law firm management software.

Law firm and clients, lots of misunderstandings! #Lexpo17
La customer relationship of the law firm is undergoing a transformation.
, CEO of Accritas, shared with the audience at #Lexpo17 the conclusions of a major marketing study conducted with 2.000+ members of legal departments and around 1000 recognized lawyers.
The conclusions are explicit:
- the client has a degraded image of the law firm
- the firm has the impression of having greatly improved its customer relations.
How to get out of this vicious circle? The classic customer survey method makes it possible to identify areas for improvement.
Ask the customer
The first step is of course to interview the customer. The most widespread criticism among the 20.000 customers surveyed over the last 10 years can be summed up in 2 words: “POOR VALUE”.
Indeed, from the customer's point of view, much can be done to improve this perception.

Legaltech and innovations in the spotlight at #Lexpo17
Day 2 of the #Lexpo17 conference in Amsterdam this Tuesday, May 9. We were there to follow European and American legaltech trends.
Changing market
First, the observation of a profound and irreversible change in the legal market is shared by all the speakers. From a situation of “price makers”, legal professionals are now “price takers”. Concretely, they can no longer impose their prices or the way they sell. They must adapt to the wishes and needs of the customer.
