Firm management just sent out a survey asking if associates would use a platform like slack for informal communication among each other. Why do I feel like there’s hidden dangers here?

I’m pushing for my office to use Microsoft Teams for an internal messaging system. Just makes your inbox less cluttered with minor questions that don’t really need to be emailed.

Yaasssssss!!! This is so key. My email is insane right now. I couldn't figure out why it was so different at my new firm but messaging via Teams at my last firm really helped keep my inbox managed.

It is a great and easy tool to use.

we've been using Slack for years in our small firm. It keeps a record, obviously, but no more risk than any other platform. It replaces tons of trivial emails.

I can’t believe the legal industry took this long to catch onto technology or get over their fear of it, lol.

When the people in charge are a bunch of old dudes, I believe it.
