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.

LSSA chief executive Roger Hancock says: “The profession does not want this, and considers it totally impractical for a variety of reasons.”
