The Legal Help Desk: Shifting Toward User Sentiment as the Primary Health Factor

By Andrew Dober
July 01, 2024

Traditional metrics that once defined the effectiveness of help desk operations within law firms are undergoing a profound transformation. As support needs are evolving, firms are being forced to adapt to ensure customer satisfaction when it comes to support. Service-level agreements have long been the cornerstone of evaluating performance and defining standards when it comes to these help desks, but a shift is in progress. The new era places user sentiment and new delivery models at the forefront of service as a quicker "get back to work" mentality coupled with a technology-savvy generational shift. As a result, the gauges we use to measure customer satisfaction have changed and are shaping the overall future success of the legal technology support ecosystem.

Understanding and responding to the evolving needs, expectations and sentiments of users are becoming the cornerstone of success in the legal support ecosystem.

As technology continues to advance, the legal profession is witnessing a reevaluation of conventional practices when it comes to help desk support for employees. Users now expect more than just timely resolutions; they want a better end-to-end user experience.
