What Lupl Can Do to Improve Legal Knowledge Management

In this article

Did you know that only 14% of law firms believe that technology is driving efficiency and productivity to its full potential? Or that law firms currently invest just 1% of revenue on innovation projects?^{1 2}

It’s no surprise, considering the challenges of implementing new tech in an industry that is known for being slow to adopt innovative tools. Law firms tend to stick to their tried-and-true methods – despite the need to demonstrate a tangible return on investment (ROI), maintaining the status quo is far less risky than taking a chance on new tech.

But here’s the burning question: are premium solutions really worth it for legal knowledge management when free tools like Google Suite exist?

In this article, we’re going to show you how Lupl can bring your legal knowledge management out of the dark ages.

Easy to Adopt

Busy lawyers have a million things on their plate, and the last thing they need is yet another new technology solution that is so complex it disrupts their workflow.

We understand that lawyers are busy professionals who struggle to find time to learn new ways of working or adapt to additional communication channels. But firms must embrace new technologies if they want to remain competitive and thrive in the digital age.

In a recent PwC report, 80% of law firms recognize that having a clear digital strategy is crucial for future success, but only 23% say that they have one in place.³

So, what’s the solution?

Seamless and Secure Knowledge Sharing

When it comes to law firm knowledge management, relying on free tools like Google Suite may seem tempting, but they often fall short of meeting the specific needs of lawyers and legal professionals.

Similarly, while practice management systems (PMS) and legal project management (LPM) systems are useful for running the business and handling legal matters, they may not effectively address knowledge management challenges.

But fear not, because Lupl is here to fill this gap and revolutionize the way you share knowledge within your legal team.

Transform your client and firm playbooks into custom Matter Templates to save you time and effort when starting a new matter in Lupl. Muslim Albakri, lead partner at Albakri LLC, reports that his custom templates: “Cut down learning time by more than half for the less experienced members of [the] team.”

Seamless upload and sharing: Securely share documents and other important files without relying on email. We offer unlimited cloud storage across all our plans so that you can share whichever knowledge resources you need to. Plus, with our handy “Pins” feature, you can link legal research and external web pages to matters with ease.
