TO MANY LAWYERS, TECHNOLOGY IS AN ENIGMA.
TO US, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE.

At Skjold ▪ Barthel, we are always seeking the best tools to enhance client service and extend our capabilities.

We employ a virtual computing environment within and beyond our physical offices to capitalize on productivity. We allocate resources responsibly to maximize each professional’s contribution and the value to clients – including the unique ability to scale rapidly to adjust to client needs.

By computing in the “cloud,” our attorneys have instant access to client files and communications, regardless of where they are.  Voice messages are accessed in electronic formats available via Smartphone or laptops.  Clients and counsel can always interact – especially important in litigation matters when relevant information may come to light in a hallway during depositions, or in the middle of courtroom arguments.   And, because we “rent” our server and storage, capacity is never an issue, all data is safeguarded and always available. 

Scalable, Technology-Based Litigation Model

We invest in technologies and processes that enable us to work more productively, and in turn provide clients with better value. Our scalable litigation model, based on appropriate resource allocation and advanced technologies, allows us to deliver highly efficient and cost-effective litigation services and support for commercial disputes of all sizes. This model allows us to engage additional technical and human resources as needed for large, complex or multi-jurisdictional matters – without concerns of overhead or billable hours influencing crucial decision-making processes.  In litigation and other document-intensive matters, we outsource copy, scan, e-discovery and related document processing functions to our partner K&B Document Technologies, ensuring fast, accurate and cost-effective servicing for our clients.

Westlaw™ Efficiencies

We partner with West™ to provide advanced electronic document review technology, collaborative review and analysis and data assembly capabilities.   As an early-adopter of WestlawNext™, West Case Notebook® and related products, we were among the first firms in the country to take advantage of these powerful tools.  

West products allow us capture the collaborative energy in the firm and fully utilize the expertise of all our lawyers.  And that delivers more effective work and better value to our clients.  Visit our newsroom to see video and read about our use of these empowering tools.
