Law firms are famously late, but enthusiastic adopters of technology. Usually after all their clients are using it. For example the old blackberry -- law firms in New York were about a year behind, but once they tried it, they fell in love with handheld email. I don't think "smartphone" penetration was higher in any demographic circa 2005 than the ranks of Wall St lawyers.

There are a few contemporary services like Workshare that have made inroads in the arena that Autto is entering. Contract workflow is a pretty tough nut to crack. I think the mistake a lot of non-lawyers make when selling to law firms, is they assume that most contract flow can/should be entirely automated. But complex legal drafting is still an exercise that demands a lot of wet brain matter.
