Ninety-nine per cent of law firms disagree with the Law Society’s proposal to have only one or two preferred suppliers of case and practice management software, a survey of more than 200 firms by the Legal Software Suppliers Association (LSSA) has found. The Law Society began a tendering process early in 2014 to endorse a sole preferred supplier, although it has now said it may appoint more than one. LSSA chief executive Roger Hancock says: “The profession does not want this, and considers it totally impractical for a variety of reasons.”
