The expectations on service that law firms were required to deliver soared during the pandemic with reliance on technology becoming essential in order to help satisfy clients’ heightened demands by facilitating remote support and uninterrupted communications. Now, following a year of contactless customer service options, clients are comfortable with, and even prefer, the digital service they received as it is simply easier for them, providing greater convenience and efficiency.
