SINGAPORE law firms, especially small and medium-sized practices, will receive more support to adopt technology, thanks to a new S$3.68 million one-year scheme launched on Thursday by the Ministry of Law , the Law Society of Singapore , Enterprise Singapore and the Infocomm Media Development Authority .
It is a step-up from a S$2.8 million one-year programme rolled out in 2017, Tech Start for Law, to help firms adopt baseline technology solutions. A total of 115 Singapore law firms adopted 143 units of technology solutions from March 2017 to February 2018 under that programme, with 99 per cent being smaller practices.Market voices on:
“We would encourage Singapore law practices to make good use of this extra government support to accelerate their own technology adoption," Mr Tong added. He noted that the earlier scheme had achieved its objectives in catalysing law firms to start or continue their technology journey.
