_________________________________________________________________________________________________ LEGAL TECHNOLOGY Whitehead & Porter strives to be current with the latest technologies available to lawyers. In litigation, for example, it is essential to coordinate and manage all of the available information and data both pretrial and in a courtroom in order to present a coherent and successful argument on behalf of our client. We integrate the latest legal technology and software to conduct research, digitally image, electronically file and organize and evaluate disparate pieces of documentary evidence. A trial lawyer’s control of voluminous evidence and ability to present it on demand often makes the difference in a court of law and in arbitration and mediation. In a business transaction, likewise, the ability to quickly create, modify, send and receive documents electronically in various formats is a key to concluding successful negotiations and closing transactions.
