INNOVATE LEGAL ONLINE

Evaluating and Modernizing Your Law Firm

About the series:

This January, critically evaluate the core components of your law firm, and find opportunities to modernize and succeed in today’s digital era. Over three sessions, a panel of legal experts will help you brainstorm new ideas and share frameworks on how to implement new processes for a more optimized firm.

Please note, we are offering two implementation sessions; one for small firms and one for larger firms, with unique strategies and case studies relevant to each.

Join us every Wednesday this January!

  • Evaluating Key Components of a Tech-Enabled Law Firm

    January 6, at 10 a.m. PST / 1 p.m. EST

    The first session will help you assess your firm’s technology-based processes and tools. We will discuss what technologies are crucial for law firm success in today’s digital era, based on findings from the 2020 Legal Trends Report and panelist Melanie Leonard’s extensive career in legal consulting. This session will help you evaluate your firm’s current technology, and where you should focus on making improvements in order to be more innovative and efficient.
