The problem with paper
- You finish a 4-hour attendance at 2am. Your handwritten notes need typing up before the admin team can file them.
- Illegible scribbles mean you second-guess what you meant when you bill or brief counsel days later.
- Sections get skipped under pressure — then you are chasing details from memory or the client.
- The file sits in your bag until you are back at a desk, so billing and case updates lag by days.
- Different fee earners use different layouts, so the office never gets a consistent record.
