FCW Lawyers: Portable monitors and the legal profession

In the world of legal practices, where client engagement, accuracy, and precision are critical, having the right tools to perform is paramount. 

FCW Lawyers is a workplace and commercial law firm operating throughout Australia. Its core focus is to make a positive difference by always focusing on what clients, industry, and people need to improve their situations.

In this customer interview, we deep-dive with a Melbourne-based law firm about their experience with espresso Displays products and how portable monitors now play a key role in their team workflow.

The Challenge of Modern Legal Work

Alister Bayston, a principal at FCW Lawyers, explains the unique challenges faced by legal professionals in today's digital age. "As a lawyer, you have a lot of responsibility to clients. You have things happen unexpectedly, deadlines that are really important, upset people, and difficult conversations. You really need to be able to rely on your technology."

The legal profession demands attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple documents and dense streams of information simultaneously. With the rise of remote work and the need for flexibility and agility in workflows, lawyers often find themselves constrained by the limitations of a single laptop screen.

Enter espresso Displays

espresso Displays portable monitors have provided FCW Lawyers with a solution to expand their capability wherever they need to work. 

One of the key benefits highlighted by Alister is the improvement in client-facing work when sharing content through the additional screen. "If you've got a great display like this, you're clearly in charge of the documents, and it looks good, it's got to be something that works in a client-facing way," he notes.

The additional screen space also allows the team to maintain eye contact with clients during video calls while simultaneously accessing and referencing relevant documents. 

Flexibility and Mobility

The portability of espresso Displays is a crucial feature for legal professionals who need to work from various locations. As Alister explains, "I'm an office worker, I personally like it. I'm here most of the time, but I need to be able to work with my team members wherever they are, with my opponents, and with clients."

The ease of setting up an espresso Display in different environments – from office desks to hotel rooms and even poolside at home – ensures that lawyers can maintain their productivity regardless of their location.

The Impact on Legal Work

The introduction of espresso Displays has helped FCW Lawyers achieve a number of key workflow benefits that could provide a view for other legal professionals to consider.

  1. Improved Multitasking: Compare documents, analyse data, and reference multiple sources simultaneously.

  2. Enhanced Remote Work Capabilities: A dual-screen setup anywhere is crucial for effective remote work.

  3. Better Client Presentations: A professional look and functionality for client-facing activities.

  4. Increased Productivity: With more screen space, lawyers can complete tasks more efficiently, even when travelling.

Conclusion

As the legal profession continues to evolve in the digital age, tools like espresso Displays are becoming an important consideration for maintaining high standards of work and client service. FCW Lawyers' experience demonstrates how these portable monitors are not just a convenience but can become an important component of a modern legal practice.
