“There is a major change happening in law firms, and this was made evident at the Technology in Practice conference this year,” she tells AdvocateDaily.com.

“In the past, many lawyers only got on board with technology when they had to, but now there is more acknowledgement amongst them of the context in which they are working. The medium has changed — it used to be paper and there has been resistance to changing since electronic evidence came along."

This year’s conference, held Nov. 4 - 6 in Toronto and hosted by Commonwealth Legal, a division of Ricoh Canada, attracted over 50 lawyers, more than double the number that attended last year.

“All of the national law firms were present and we had representation from across the industry,” Johnson says. “The firms sent one or more lawyers, often associates, who the partners want to develop expertise around ediscovery."

Johnson believes it’s a sign that the market is maturing and that Technology in Practice is gaining credibility across the legal industry.
