Learn how to build the case and lead your department through the shift to modern legal technology
Many government legal teams still rely on spreadsheets, shared drives, and outdated systems to get work done, losing hours to version conflicts, missed deadlines, weak audit trails, and unsearchable matter history.
Most leaders already see the problem clearly. What holds them back is the assumption that fixing it requires a massive budget request or a multi-year initiative.
With budget pressure and accountability demands intensifying, this webinar will unpack what’s driving change in government legal departments today, followed by a panel discussion with government leaders on how they’ve adopted new technology and navigated the change within their departments.
Join the live session to learn:
- How to quantify the hidden costs of legacy systems and manual processes—and build the internal case for modernization
- A phased approach to adopting legal technology that works within government budget cycles and procurement requirements
- What the transition to modern case management actually looks like in practice: from procurement and onboarding to the workflows that deliver the fastest time-to-value
Duration: 20 minute presentation followed by a 40-minute live panel discussion with government practitioners.
