Been saying you should look at technology solutions but never found the right time?
Good news is that there has never been a better time and you can do a heap with software you already have or is low cost. This is a down-to-earth and super practical guide to actually tackling things like document automation, digital workflows and getting rid of paper for good.
Presented by a former lawyer who has worked across BigLaw, midtier, small firm, NewLaw and in-house — and has an insider's view on how lawyers are using, or not using, tech tools to improve how they work. Fiona has just written a book called Tech enabled lawyer: a guide to making the most of the tools you have and spotting the tech you need. There is no need to be scared by tech, this session will show you exactly what you need to do.
Practical Takeaways:
- 5 step framework to work out how to get started with tech in any law firm or legal business
- clarity on the first, next step to get started straightaway - one thing I am going to do
- aware of the capacity in common low cost tools like Microsoft 365 to deliver automation and digital intake processes, so you can get started without needing to buy new software straight away
This seminar will be recorded and made available in our On Demand library after the live event.
