Tanenbaum Keale LLP Managing Partner Thomas D. Robertson and Chief Technologist Kenneth E. Jones were recently published by Law360 on technology considerations for law firms as they potentially prepare to work from home in the wake of coronavirus.
Robertson and Jones touch on remote access and telephonic considerations, system access capacity/strong security practices, calendaring/deadline management, expanded use of remote conferencing services, and other security concerns.
Law firms, like most companies in the U.S., are still in the calm before the storm, but it’s better to start preparing now in case a plan needs to be put in place.
