Build capability for a future-fit legal team
Building superior in-house legal ops + technology capability is critical as teams look to drive efficiencies, increase productivity and enhance stakeholder experience.
Core legal operations tasks, such as process mapping, market research and technology selection, often fall to developing lawyers or paralegals without formal experience or training in legal ops and tech.
Designed as a practical introduction to the world of design thinking, legal operations and technology, this hands-on workshop aims to build attendees’ capability and confidence to:
- Clarify the business problem statement
- Research and evaluate options
