Benefits of Storyblok for the Legal Industry

In the legal sector, the rapid evolution of technology and the changing landscape of information consumption demands that law firms continuously update their digital strategies to stay relevant. Now, every law firm’s credibility is intertwined with its digital presence. Underpinning this is a transformative shift in content management requirements. 

We want to help you and your clients meet the evolving requirements for the challenging legal sector by offering captivating, cohesive, and future-proof digital experiences. Let’s explore how implementing Storyblok can transform the digital strategy of law firms, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of client engagement and communication.

To better understand the legal industry's position in the CMS world, we've partnered with our solution partner, Codehouse, experts in delivering web experiences for law firms. Based on their research, let's dive into the legal sector's digital future and explore how Storyblok can contribute to a law firm’s success.

Client as the heart of the experience

Within the legal field, clients demand intuitive experiences that are easy to navigate and tailored to address their specific legal needs and concerns. Clients seeking a divorce lawyer will need a drastically different experience from a general counsel seeking an M&A specialist advisor. These factors drive law firms to adopt innovative platforms that deliver personalized content ensuring that each client's journey is as smooth and effortless as possible before getting in touch.

Storyblok offers various features and tools to keep a client at the center of this personalized journey:

• Modular content components designed to be saved, experimented with, and arranged in any desired configuration, enhancing reusability. They can be leveraged to create legal forms, informative content references, documentation, tutorials, or client testimonials.
• Predefined blocks offering a specific function, such as Richtext, Image and Video section, Banners, and action buttons, which can be easily integrated with existing content.
• Visual Editor with drag-and-drop function and live preview, allowing real-time editing and visualization of changes.

Security and data protection

Information provided by legal entities must be available to various audiences while maintaining a high level of security and responsibility for its accuracy. While technological advancements facilitate the digitization of processes, they also expand the risk of potential cyber threats and data breaches. It is crucial to convey legal content with precise and clear documentation and clear guarantees about how data is used.

Seamless collaboration to provide accurate data

Codehouse’s research shows that in the content creation process, there are often multiple contributors to a single piece of content across a law firm - from a partner sharing their expertise to SEO experts and legal compliance teams. A collaborative environment helps to maintain a consistent voice and accuracy across all published content, which is critical in the legal industry where precision is paramount. Collaboration is a cornerstone of Storyblok's platform, designed to enhance how teams within a legal firm work together. By providing a centralized hub for content management, Storyblok ensures that all team members can communicate effectively, share resources, and maintain a unified strategy.

We love to enhance the teams’ collaboration with:

• Customizable workflows - a feature that helps legal firms streamline their operations, from client onboarding to document management, ensuring that clients receive timely and accurate information.
• Storyblok's Discussions - a tool that streamlines communication within the content creation team. It allows team members to leave comments or tag each other on individual blocks or groups of blocks within the CMS, making it easier to address detailed aspects of a project.
• Ideation room - a collaborative space designed to enhance the creative process of content creation, where teams can brainstorm and co-work on content ideas in real-time. Additionally, the Ideation Room includes built-in AI features to help generate and refine content ideas, speeding up the content creation process.
