What is a legal tech stack audit, and why?
In the context of the legal sector, a tech stack audit is a comprehensive evaluation of a law firm’s software infrastructure. It involves examining the firm’s practice or case management systems, document management tools, timekeeping and billing software, communication platforms, and other technology solutions currently in use. However, without regular assessment and optimisation, these tools may become outdated, fragmented, or inefficient, hindering productivity and impeding growth.
