Tech Advantage
IT Assisted Legal Services
Technology's Cutting Edge. Morgan Miller Blair recognizes that the law is, fundamentally, a combination of wisdom, analysis and tactics, applied to an information base. As such, we don't glory in the dusty, leather bound tradition of law practice. As lawyers who embrace the information age, we employ many of the most advanced tools available to assist our clients in making the best decisions, and advocating their interests. Casebooks don't line our walls or clutter our desks. But every bit and byte of online case law is available to every lawyer in our firm 24/7, from anywhere.
Research in Motion (RIMM) calls us a "trailblazing law firm," because we pioneered the use of productivity extending applications on the "BlackBerry" handheld in the legal field. Every firm lawyer has one, and we have the most customized suite of applications in the business, to handle our clients' matters better, faster and more efficiently.
Every firm lawyer has dedicated high speed internet access to our network from their home workstations, so we can serve national and international clients in real time.
Our mobility solutions go past the BlackBerry, so whether we are in a cab or at the airport, we can log our laptops into our IT system, from around the world as if we were in the office, to instant message, communicate, collaborate or create in the field.
Every firm lawyer has a private conference line, which can utilized for domestic or international conference calls, an IP telephone, and a unified messaging system to enable frictionless communications with clients. The firm’s conference rooms are outfitted with big screens and IP video phones, so we can have paper-free meetings, with clients and cooperating law firms no matter where they are located.
In the courtroom, we regularly face-off against the big law firms ranked in the AmLaw 200, whom we always lead in technology assisted presentation. Our technology tools also make us more effective examining witnesses and in the sidebars. Judges and juries love this technology and now demand the tools which help our advocates make the complex case simple. In fact, one judge ordered an AmLaw 200 law firm which bills itself as a technology leader to scrap its jury evidence presentation system mid-trial and pay for half of ours. We regularly work with the courts and teach other lawyers how to make courtroom presentations simple with IT tools.
Leveraging the benefits of good IT makes Morgan Miller Blair better, faster, and more cost-effective.
