Implementing New Technology in Legal Sector

27 September 2022, 5:00 - 8.30 pm CET

 

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on work practices across every industry, and law is no exception. The pandemic has put technology adoption across the sector in the focus, as law firms and corporate legal departments shifted to flexible remote working and explored virtual ways of delivering services. The changes in work patterns present opportunities for law firms to optimise operations, try different things and improve their business resiliency through increased technology investment.

But the big questions are: where to start and how to ensure that our investment will yield long term results?

The event will aim to provide practical advice on how to implement the right technology that will benefit your law firm or department in the long run. We will hear from well-respected experts, who will share their knowledge and experience on what has worked, what has not and how they have overcome integration issues. We will also explore why their firms have decided to introduce new IT tools and what impact this change has had on their daily operations.
