Why Law Firms Are Innovating Document Production In 2025: Security, Sustainability and Efficiency In a Transforming Landscape
The legal industry is undergoing a transformation at an unprecedented pace, driven by two powerful forces: the shift to flexible operations and the rapid acceleration of technology adoption. On top of this, clients, often ahead of their law firm counterparts in leveraging technology, are demanding faster, more secure, and more sustainable ways of working.
