As remote working is now the norm for the medium term and courts moving to online hearing, we have seen an acceleration in technology adoption across the legal industry. The Australian Legal Tech market is now home to 154 solutions, it can be a daunting journey for law firms to work out the plethora of Legal Tech solutions. The budgetary impacts of Covid-19 mean that many planned Legal Tech purchases are being delayed. Fortunately for those of us who use MS 365, Microsoft has provided a handful of tools that can make a huge difference to the everyday workflows of lawyers, they just haven’t been very good at telling us! Join Eric and Graeme to understand how you can optimise your work environment with the tools you already have in Microsoft Office 365.
The session will cover:
- State of the Legal Tech market
- How to kickstart your Legal Tech journey
- What does a technology roadmap look like
- How to assess Legal Tech solutions
- How to use Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Planner, To Do and Forms in your practice
- Explore Microsoft’s add-ins to manage email templates, precedents and clause banks
