The digital transformation of family law has made legal services more accessible, efficient, and adaptable, but it also presents new challenges related to privacy, security, and the need for updated legal frameworks. In this edition of The Practitioner Playbook, we delve into some of the recent innovations that have emerged, helping to modernise this area of practice. We explore these innovations in detail, providing insights into how they are reshaping family law practice and what practitioners can do to stay ahead in this evolving landscape.
Across all aspects of the industry, lawyers have experienced a surge in workload demands with increasing client expectations. For those within the family law sector, these challenges are intensified with complicated matters which are highly sensitive to the client. Whilst family lawyers are obligated to remain objective and professional, the emotional intensity can often take its toll. Those who practice within this segment of the law are increasingly reporting burn out and fatigue, so, how can we protect this area of practice, whilst also safeguarding the next generation of family lawyers?
In today’s fast-paced legal environment, efficiency and accuracy are crucial. InfoTrack’s innovative Family Court Portal can assist in this endeavour. We dive into the benefits of this innovation and hear from Janine Hopp, Practice Manager from Carter Farquar Mediation and Family Law, about her experience with this solution.
For lawyers in estate planning, the challenge with multiple Wills lies in determining which Will is valid and reflects the true intentions of the deceased person. Will Trace, InfoTrack’s digital service for Will locations, can help with this process.
