For the third year in a row, Canadian lawyers have voted LexCloud.ca as a top provider of Cloud-Based Practice Management Software/Solutions.
If your law firm is like many small-to-medium-sized Canadian firms, you're facing an increasing volume of electronic files and correspondence. Your firm may also face related challenges around reproducing work, collaborating on and versioning documents and responding quickly to client demands.
Adopting tech that’s new to your firm may seem like a bigger challenge than keeping your old onsite model. Despite expressing frustration with the management hassles, unexpected costs, downtime, and security concerns, some law firms still lean toward onsite systems, just because they are comfortable with what’s familiar.

Toronto firm Bales Beall LLP had a professional IT setup: a server room filled with a solid network of servers, providing a LAN that worked well for the firm - most of the time. As all in-house systems do, it was nearing the end of its life: remote access was becoming onerous, software was crashing and the network was slowing down. One option was to simply buy new servers to replace the old. But Partner Karon Bales had heard of Private Cloud and wondered: would moving to the Cloud be a safer, more reliable solution?
