Why Lawyers Choose Cloud Phone Systems to Enhance Communication

In law school, emerging lawyers learn about the history of the law, how the law changes, building cases, legal research, making arguments, drafting submissions and proposals, the appeals process, and so on.

And while all of these are obviously essential for a long and successful legal career, there is another piece of the puzzle that is so enormous, that some law schools are wisely including it as a core part of their curriculum, just as various Bar Associations make it a part of their continuing education requirements. Of course, we are talking about COMMUNICATION.

Indeed, perhaps more than any other highly specialized profession, lawyers need to master the art and science of communication; whether it is with existing or prospective clients, their peers in other law firms, officers of the court, law enforcement, and the list goes on. Indeed, as the American Bar Association points out: “The ability to communicate effectively with clients can have an immense impact on a lawyer’s practice, and on the success of the law firm as a whole.”

And given this fundamental requirement, it is not surprising that more and more lawyers – from single-person firms to large multi-disciplinary practices – are choosing cloud phone system. Below, we highlight the key reasons why:

1. Access to Advanced Calling Features

Cloud phone systems empower lawyers with advanced calling features, such as voicemail-to-text, voicemail-to-email, direct-in-dial, and more. Not only does this enhance communication, but it drives efficiency and optimizes client experience.

2. Total Mobility

Lawyers are rarely at their desk – and some of them do not even HAVE a desk per se! That is because they are constantly on the move: in boardrooms, at court, in the field, visiting other law firms, and so on. Cloud phone systems are designed for total mobility. Whether they are at the airport or waiting outside a courtroom, lawyers can be reached – or reach anyone – they need with few taps on their smartphone.

3. Built-in Video Conferencing

Lawyers know the importance of “face time” with their prospective and current clients. However, sometimes fitting everyone into a workday (which for most lawyers is far longer than 9-5!) is simply impossible. Similarly, finding the time to visit clients at their workplace or other location can be a logistics nightmare, not to mention costly.

Cloud phone systems feature built-in video conferencing, which lets lawyers connect with clients, counterparts, colleagues and anyone else from wherever they are -- including on the road through their tablet or smartphone.
