It\u2019s an open and shut case really: lawyers rely on pen and paper when it comes to meeting with clients or taking notes more than any other method. In fact, in a recent survey, legal professionals said used pen and paper twice as much as laptops, citing the fact that it was quicker than making notes on a tablet and the tactile sense of writing with a pen as major reasons for their preference. On the downside, they also mentioned the challenges of pen and paper: losing notes, difficulty in copying and sharing, and difficulty in reading.<\/p>\n

These same legal professionals also said that they see the potential for technology to help them get more done in less time, collaborate better with colleagues and help keep their firm and their clients\u2019 data more secure. When having to make the tradeoff between the familiarity and speed of a pen and paper or the efficiency and security of a computer, how do you decide? The good news is, legal professionals don\u2019t have to. Using a Surface Book helps them free up time to spend on higher value work, and makes sharing notes securely a lot easier and more efficient.<\/p>\n
