The survey was carried out by LexisNexis Firm Manager. Spokeswoman Loretta Ruppert said: 'While it's taken the legal industry a bit longer than other industries to come around to the cloud, client expectations for collaborative services, combined with the efficiency, accessibility, and lower total cost are driving the independent attorney to adopt the cloud. We've clearly hit a tipping point as the gap between early adopters and the mainstream market is closing; 2014 is poised to be the year of the cloud in small law.' Security is still an important worry - as only 41 per cent of lawyers surveyed believe that data stored in the cloud is safe from intrusion. Source: Wall Street Journal
