It's not the cost of the paper. Some costs originate from delays, caused by the fact that paper travels slow. If the stakeholders can digitally sign documents on their laptop or mobile phone, processes can go much faster.
- ceejayoz 15y agoIf you're getting charged for the time paper's in transit through the postal system, you need a different law firm.
- smalter 15y agothere are changes in dealing with "paper". for instance, if a lawyer has to sign a doc then pdf it and send it, the law firm is going to bill the time that the paralegal took to print, scan, and email that document. this stuff takes longer than you might expect. that said, the cost of the paralegal isn't the big one among lawyers' fees. fred is just talking generally about a "paperless" process -- a frictionless one that will necessarily have to happen digitally.
