When the largest litigation firm in Georgia needed to modernize its tech, it didn’t just upgrade—it transformed.
Swift Currie had a challenge most law firms would envy: rapid growth. But behind the momentum, their infrastructure was straining under pressure.
With over 350 employees across Georgia and Alabama, the firm had outgrown its legacy systems. The tech wasn’t keeping up with the demands of a younger, remote-ready workforce—or the cybersecurity expectations of modern clients.
So, IT co-chairs Brad Wolff and Wally Saunders called in Affinity.
Growth Exposed a Crumbling Tech Foundation
In 2017 and 2018, Swift Currie experienced a surge in headcount and caseload. But with outdated systems and limited remote capabilities, the firm hit a ceiling.
“It was becoming very evident that our infrastructure was a little ‘long in the tooth,’” said Saunders.
They were facing:
- Aging servers and unsupported software
- Remote work friction just before the pandemic
- A growing divide between traditional workflows and tech-native attorneys
- Mounting cybersecurity concerns
They needed more than new tools—they needed a complete rethink.
Affinity Delivered a Roadmap, Not Just Recommendations
Affinity kicked things off with a full practice analysis—then guided the firm through a strategic overhaul.
Here’s what that looked like:
- Migrating to the cloud with ProCirrus for secure, always-on access
- Replacing outdated practice management software with Orion
- Implementing NetDocuments to streamline search, storage, and collaboration
“Affinity helped us evaluate our options objectively,” said Wolff. “It was clear their only goal was our success.”
When COVID hit mid-rollout, both teams pivoted seamlessly to a remote implementation—without missing deadlines or disrupting daily operations.
What Changed? Everything—And It’s Measurable
Swift Currie didn’t just adapt to the pandemic—they came out stronger.
Here’s what they gained:
- 100% remote capability rolled out firmwide within weeks
- Zero disruption during a major infrastructure migration
- 40% faster document retrieval with NetDocuments
- Improved onboarding for new attorneys and staff
- Tighter cybersecurity and continuity planning
“It’s been a win across the board,” said Saunders. “We’re in a much better place, and we’re ready for the unexpected.”
