How law firms are leveraging Microsoft Teams

Read CTS’s law firm guide to leveraging Microsoft Teams for better security, collaboration and efficiency in a remote working world.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has led to a boom in remote working as law firms require employees to work from home, in order to protect both their workforce and business from the virus and to comply with the government-enforced lockdown.

With social distancing measures in place, the days of in-person interaction and face-to-face collaboration are over and communication has become almost completely digitalised. How is the legal sector navigating through this unpredictable period? How can law firms bolster collaboration, boost morale and guarantee productivity and efficiency?

As a result of the increase of remote workers, collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams, have seen a massive uptake in users, with Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, revealing that Teams usage has soared to over 75 million daily users worldwide.

This eBook is designed to support law firms in maximising Microsoft Teams in order to enrich collaboration between departments, communicate effectively with clients and manage workflows efficiently, all while ensuring that client data remains secure.

In this guide, we cover:

  • How Microsoft Teams is increasing efficiency by ensuring a smooth transition to home working;
  • Microsoft Teams security best practices to ensure that sensitive data is protected;
  • How law firms can optimise Microsoft Teams regarding document management, collaboration and matter management.
