The Legal War Room

When setting up a space for pretrial prep, transactions, or closings, treat it as if you are planning to set up a temporary office to maximize productivity, concentration and collaboration. What type of supplies and equipment do you need to keep everyone focused and on task? In most cases, you’ll need the following technology for an effective war room setup.

• Audiovisual and presentation equipment enables collaborative discussions, document reviews and visual presentations.
• Large display screens or monitors provide a clear and detailed view of case files, evidence and presentations.
• Copiers and printers to print, scan, copy and manage various types of case documents and client matters.
• Fast and secure internet connection permits seamless communication, research and access to legal databases. This must include cybersecurity measures such as firewalls, antivirus software, and data encryption.
• Workflow automation and digitization promotes efficiency and prevents staff from being overwhelmed with case records, billing and other backoffice systems.
• A unified communications solution encourages productivity and helps track billable activity with dynamic call routing, transcription features, text message logging and more.
• Multiple networked computers with sufficient processing power and leading-edge security help protect critical data while supporting seamless online meetings and fast database processing speeds.
• Accessories like monitors, keyboards and docking stations facilitate productivity and keep your team on task.
