Notarize Blog

Skepticism has never been an effective way to thwart the impact of technology, and adopting digital practices in the legal industry is no different.

The banking industry was one of the first to fully realize and harness the digital revolution, with financial institutions first experimenting with online banking possibilities as far back as the 1980s.

Consumers want to their financial institutions to offer products and services online, which raises the issue of digital security. While major financial institutions have moved many services online, they are constantly evaluating best practices to ensure privacy and security.

Just about everything is digital these days. Now, you can buy groceries, order food for delivery, book an appointment, refill a prescription, and more — all online and on any device. Technologies like e-signatures, mobile check deposits, and online notarization make once arduous, time-consuming processes simple, easy, and automated.

Over the last two years, the world has been forced to alter the way they work and live. Law firms experienced a dramatic shift to virtual litigation that accelerated the industry’s digital transformation by years. But, how did virtual litigation perform compared to the in-person experience that has dominated the field until now?

Digital is the name of the game when it comes to attracting auto insurance customers. The convenience of transacting online simply can’t be matched by traditional brick and mortar insurance providers.
