John Streets, IT & Administration Director, shares his perspective on the accelerating shift toward cloud-based systems in SME law firms.
John notes that the legal sector is moving beyond the early adoption phase, with firms now recognising the cloud as a strategic asset rather than just a technical upgrade.
He highlights that cloud platforms offer more than just flexibility they enable firms to scale operations, improve resilience, and enhance client service delivery. He stresses that successful cloud adoption hinges on aligning technology with firm-wide goals and ensuring teams are culturally and operationally ready for change.
He also points to the importance of vendor relationships and system integration, noting that firms should prioritise solutions that are not only secure and compliant but also intuitive and adaptable. As firms continue to navigate hybrid working and evolving client expectations, John sees cloud systems as central to building a more agile and future-ready legal practice.
