In recent years, an increasingly large number of law firms are moving their software and data to the cloud. In fact, the ABA reported that the percentage of lawyers who use cloud-based software and services jumped from 21 percent in 2012 to nearly 30 percent in 2014!

If you’re one of the many lawyers who have decided to take advantage of the cloud for cost savings, mobility, security, flexibility and disaster preparedness, it’s important that you do your research and ask the right questions to ensure you select a service provider that will help you meet the highest standards for your ethical obligations, client service and efficiency.

There are 5 common mistakes that lawyers make when choosing a cloud provider:

1. Not knowing where your data really lives
2. Assuming you own your data
3. Neglecting to integrate all your systems
4. Relying on multiple parties for support and maintenance
5. Focusing solely on price, disregarding ‘best practices’

Not all clouds are created equal
