Most law firms have only scratched the surface in utilizing the capabilities of AI and other emerging technologies. Automation tools like robotic process automation (RPA), machine learning and data analytics can perform repetitive manual tasks, improve efficiencies, reduce human error, provide new insight and free up valuable time for legal teams.

If you are looking to implement new technologies and want to understand the steps to make the change, join this discussion and learn from award-winning legal technology experts and immigration attorneys who have a track record in creating and embedding these technologies into law firm processes.

Most firms want to leverage technology to give lawyers what they need to grow their business and use this technology to be even more client focused. Organizational change management is challenging to implement thoughtfully and globally across all practice groups and offices. Building a platform that incorporates automation to alleviate mired tasks and includes enhanced integrations is becoming increasingly more important for firm growth while inherently increasing adoption and usage. In this session we investigate how narrow focused CRM technology is evolving into an expanding Business Development ecosystem, helping firms execute their client development strategy.

The process of trying to innovate from within a conventional industry, especially one as conservative as the legal profession, can feel polarizing at times.

For example, in firms whose revenue models are structured around billable hours, automation could feel like kryptonite, even if it leads to more efficiency, better client results, and ultimately more revenue down the road. So, how does one convince firm leadership to take a "forest through the trees" approach at the cost of short-term gains? And, in organizations where information sharing and transparency are not commonplace or even incentivized, the idea of collaboration might feel like a territorial intrusion for some.

The standard approach to structuring legal documents undermines understanding. Sections. Cross-References. Defined terms. These defy a linear reading of lawyer-produced documents—for lawyers and businesspeople alike. To support analysis and action, much effort has been put into transforming legal documents, especially contracts, into structured data. Such efforts have all manner of benefits, at scale. But they do not address the immediate problem of reading and understanding individual legal documents.

While the pandemic has brought trial schedules down to a crawl, courts have been busier than ever dealing with pre-trial disputes and discovery management issues.  To survive the deluge over the past year, courts have utilized virtual platforms for hearings, case management conferences, and even trials.  While courtroom virtualization was a mandate to deal with the crisis at hand, now, litigators and court staff look to the future for a vision of the new normal.  Join this panel to hear more about how courts have (and have not) embraced technology and hear judicial perspectives of what’s to come in 2022.

Over the past year, the shift to remote and hybrid work has meant our customers have navigated a digital transformation in the span of a few weeks or even days. With such rapid transformation, the number of communications sent over digital communication platforms has grown exponentially.

This new work environment can be disorienting for employees while they navigate a blended environment of work and home and also pose new risks for employers. While organizations seek out emerging technology to empower employees to do their best work, they also need to manage risk in communications to protect company assets and flag sharing of concerning content and compliance violations such as potential conflict of the interest.
