"A recurring theme of this book will be that the movement to electronic and digital tools for collaboration is nonthreatening and evolutionary, not radical and revolutionary, even though it might feel that way during and after COVID-19. Lawyers consistently adapt the same fundamental collaborative acts to different technologies as those technologies evolve. The greatest difference today is that the accelerating pace of technological change, combined with the sudden need for most legal professionals to work from home, culminated in an explosion of the number and variety of collaborative tools and a dramatic shift in client expectations"--
