Why Email is Failing Legal Operations

The Hidden Cost of the “Send” Button

For decades, the legal industry has run on email. It is the universal protocol. But as cyber threats evolve and client expectations for speed increase, email is becoming a liability rather than a tool.

The primary issue is lack of control. Once you email a sensitive contract to a client, you lose all governance over that file. It can be forwarded, downloaded to an insecure device, or intercepted via a Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack. There is no “un-send” in the real world.

Furthermore, email destroys version control. Legal operations teams waste countless hours reconciling different versions of agreements sent by different parties. By moving to a platform like Dossira, you shift from a “push” model (sending files) to a “access” model (inviting users). This centralization ensures that the document creates a single source of truth, reducing risk and accelerating closing times.
