Marketing Tech: Four Technology Trends Changing Law Firm Marketing and Business

We are used to reading technology trend lists. But those lists invariably discuss how trends affect the much larger retail and consumer market. Although mobile shopping and electronic wallets are expected to grow significantly this year, neither will have any noticeable impact on law firms or the practice of law.

  • Do the technologies have a “downside”? In other words, will firms have to implement the technology just to maintain their current competitive position?
