Resource Center
We have collated some useful resources related to the final event:
“Digital transformation and the legal function” and “The future of legal technology”
How to develop a legal technology roadmap
Top-performing legal operations have a strong focus on technology. This white paper explains why your department needs a roadmap, how to prioritize your needs to build a roadmap, the risks of not having one, and where to get started.
Transformation and Technology
Digital transformation is a term used to describe how digital technologies (like cloud, artificial intelligence, mobility, cryptography, and collaboration) are becoming key enablers for transforming relationships with clients, business processes, how users work and even business models.
Digital Legal Transformation
Law departments face increasing pressure to identify cost-savings while maintaining delivery expectations, to which the traditional workforce—with traditional tools—may not be responsive. Digital Legal Transformation is an entirely new way of thinking that reimagines how services are structured and delivered, aiming to reevaluate every aspect of the law department and its impact on the success of the business.
We have collated some useful resources related to the third event:
“UK vs US– the next decade” and “Skills and education for legal professionals in the 2020s”

Legal Tech’s Revolution is Exacerbating Mental Health Issues. How Can We Fix the Problem?
Legal technology’s thousand-mile-an-hour expansion has opened theoretical opportunities for lawyers to flex their creativity, yet legal professionals still feel the pressure inherent in staying tuned-in 24/7 to their clients’ demands. However, more legal education can help.
We have collated some useful resources related to the second event:
“What clients want and need” and “Alternative legal suppliers – hope or hype?”

Challenging how big law meets client demands
