Tackling Paralegal and Attorney Burnout Through Legal Tech

A startling new report from Gartner reveals the immense exhaustion facing attorneys today, with “54% of lawyers experiencing some degree of exhaustion and 20% experiencing high levels of exhaustion.” It’s clear that something needs to change.

At Pineywoods Tech, we intimately understand the intense pressures and information chaos attorneys and their staff grapple with daily. As Doug, Pineywoods Tech’s CEO, explains, “We aim to alleviate the grinding stress that has engulfed the legal industry and help firms operate at their highest capacity.”

The central challenge for most legal teams isn’t accessing enough data — it’s making sense of data spread across disparate systems. Attorneys struggle to construct timely insights from clunky case management tools, discovery portals, and tangled email trails. Piecing together a clear picture feels impossible some days.

This is where Pineywoods Tech provides welcome relief. Our legal data integration platform takes time to grasp each firm’s end goals. We then map out an optimal architecture to consolidate and streamline data flows across key systems. Leveraging smart connectors and automation, we seamlessly pipe the information lawyers need into unified views.

The result is accurate, up-to-date data that legal teams can actually utilize efficiently. Data they can leverage to make quick calls, hit deadlines, and deliver exceptional client service — even as the pressures mount. As the Gartner report explains, “legal departments are seeking relief through technology” when faced with overburdened resources.

The bottomline, as the report emphasizes, is that “automation increases legal department productivity” by “reducing the burden on individual team members.” Pineywoods Tech does exactly that through our legal workflow automation capabilities, fueled by fully integrated case data.

As the Gartner report spotlights, legal departments must leverage technology to alleviate overwhelmed attorneys and their staff. At Pineywoods Tech, we simplify data complexity so lawyers can practice law, not data integration. Read this case study to see how.
