American Bar Association Looks at Technology Trends i

An accomplished entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in commercial and investment banking, Thomas P. Ivanyi serves as the president and CEO of Private Equity Direct, LLC, based in West Palm Beach, Florida. A lawyer by training, Thomas P. Ivanyi is a member of the American Bar Association (ABA).

Each year, the ABA studies the impact of technology on the profession by commissioning a study of how lawyers are implementing new technology in their private practices. The annual report looks at some of the major trends and then publishes a series of articles based on its findings. The most significant findings are as follows:

For 2017, the ABA found that almost a third of firms that have between 10 and 49 lawyers on staff have dealt with some kind of a security breach. Additionally, more than a quarter of the practices that took part in the study said that they had at least one client who engaged with them via a social media referral.

More than three-quarters of the lawyers said that technology allows them to consistently work remotely from home, as well. The full study findings can be found at americanbar.org.
