How can you tell whether you will see a return on, say, case analysis software, or a legal drafting tool? You need real value in return for your investment in litigation technology. In Tracking ROI: The Bottom Line on Technology Solutions for Small Law Firms, Mick Lavelle, Senior Director of small law firm Inside Sales and Account Management at Thomson Reuters, walks through two ways to measure the return on litigation software.
