From the Sedona Conference on e-discovery to the latest features of Office 2010, the hot technology topic of the day is collaboration. However, when most lawyers think of collaboration tools, their lists end after email and “track changes.” What are the real stories of collaboration technology in 2010? In this episode,  co-hosts Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell discuss the current state of affairs in collaboration tools for lawyers and the many ways these tools can benefit your practice. After you listen, be sure to check out Tom & Dennis’ co-blog and book by the same name, The Lawyers Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies.
