“Despite more than 80 per cent of Singapore law practices (SLP) agreeing in a 2018 LawSoc survey that technology helps the delivery of legal services, only 12 per cent or 115 practices have adopted technology solutions to date….
Local law firm OTP Law Corporation is currently using a cloud-based practice management system called CoreMatter, which allows its four lawyers to manage information like case files, client details and financial invoices on their mobile phones.
OTP litigation lawyer Mr Lim Seng Siew said the system has saved time, but believes that Singapore’s legal community is only just beginning to figure out how technology can be applied to their daily work.
“A key driver of the process is knowing what services our clients and customers want and what they are prepared to pay for.”
PracticeForte Advisory affiliate OTP Law Corporation’s director, @Lim Seng Siew, shares his views on adoption of technology by lawyers. OTP Law Corporation is a pioneer SmartLaw practice.

“Learning to listen to the child in Children Inclusive Mediations. We often say language is not the words but their meanings, more so when communicating with children in distress of parents in disputes. How to urge children to say what they mean to a stranger like a mediator? That was our VOICE training on 4th and 5th April 2019. It is good to be back in Berlin training with MiKK e.V. and fellow mediators from Germany, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Hungary, Finland, Sweden, Japan, Russia, US, representatives from Missing Children Europe and Mediation Bureau, Netherlands. Especially fabulous when I can give familiar faces hugs in person
