All law firms have technology; it is how Jones Day uses the technology that it has—and passes its advantages along to clients—that earned us the title of Number One Tech-Savvy Law Firm in a survey of Global 1000 corporate counsel. Jones Day began investing heavily in technology in the mid-1980s and is committed to staying ahead of the curve and to using technology to derive efficiencies that enhance every client's experience with the Firm.
Jones Day is a model of integration that truly functions as one Firm worldwide. Our communications and computer systems connect every office on our worldwide network and give lawyers and staff desktop access to:
- enterprise document management
- the internet
- a host of database resources, including external legal and business research services, client databases, and a variety of internal databases
Our internal databases provide rapid access to research and analysis. This helps lawyers learn and benefit from experience and avoid duplicating efforts. Our systems allow us to defy the constraints of time zones and distance by enabling us to:
- send and receive, virtually instantaneously, documents, voice, email, and fax messages
- share other electronic resources worldwide
We have extensive experience developing and using extranets to facilitate joint communications with clients.
Serving Clients in the 21st Century
Our e-discovery team is an excellent example of our 21st century commitment to stay ahead of the technological curve. As discovery has grown to include electronic as well as paper documents, the entire discovery process has been transformed. Jones Day has responded with a team of lawyers and staff who specialize in gathering, organizing, storing, and enhancing access to electronic documents.
Jones Day is dedicated to continue developing technology to improve client service by linking clients and counsel, increasing lawyer productivity, and improving practice management. We will remain one step ahead of technological innovation and maintain instant access to the Firm’s vast knowledge resources anytime, anywhere.
