Cloud computing has become a veritable choice of IT platform for lawyers globally. With this trend, Law firms have begun the movement of their IT processing and data to servers located outside their law offices, having seen the need for Cloud as an appropriate choice given its flexibility and affordability and an effective alternative to traditional or ‘on premise’ server and desktop-based platforms.
