Technologies to support the virtual practice

The virtual practice of the law certainly got a lot of attention this week at the 2010 ILTA Conference. Technology is obviously at the heart of the matter.

A session at the conference yesterday titled “Technologies to Support the Virtual Practice” was led by Sally Gonzalez, a senior director at Hildebrandt Baker Robbins.

It set out to define the parameters of virtual practice and examine what technologies and management strategies best support the virtual practice and whether different collaboration and security strategies in such a setting are necessary.

“You’re now going to have project teams consisting of internal and external resources that are highly dynamic that need to exchange and work on information collaboratively across those boundaries and its going to require a completely different technology infrastructure in order to support that,” said Gonzalez.

Legal Current did a video interview with Gonzalez before her session, in which she explains what she wanted to get across to the attendees:
