Putting the Tech in Legal Tech: Building Internal IT Relationships (September 26, 2023)

Putting the Tech in Legal Tech: Building Internal IT Relationships (September 26, 2023) a.ouko@acc.com
On-Demand

A primary part of a legal ops professional's cadence for implementing a tech solution is connecting with their internal stakeholders and clearing any internal hurdles for acceptance. These stakeholders are key to our success in brining in a new tool. This presentation will discuss what those key partners look for from a legal operations professional, featuring internal IT professionals from organizations with mature, tech enabled legal ops functions. We will answer questions such as:


  • What does a successful legal tech procurement and implementation process look like to you?
  • What do you find you often need from your legal ops professionals in order to streamline the process?
  • What do you wish your legal operations team would do or consider that they don't already?

Participants will walk away with a more concise perspective on how to best work together with their enterprise IT teams to successfully gain buy-in and implement legal technology solutions.


Panelists:

  • George Hadgraft, AVP of Data and Development at Tilson

  • Travis Bricker, Sr. Program Manager at Coinbase

  • Dale Roberts, Owner/operator at Centarus

Trends in Legal Transformation & Technology Survey Results Discussion (On-Demand) a.ouko@acc.com
On-Demand

Due to the nature of its content, this on-demand Webcast is not eligible for CLE/CPD credit.


Legal departments are experiencing an unprecedented period of change. The Covid-19 pandemic led to the rise in remote work, privacy regulations are increasing in their scope and complexity, and enterprise digital transformation is accelerating, all causing vast transformations in the way work gets done. In-house legal departments are now front and center in this new environment, increasingly facing the pressure to drive greater value, align the once independent legal function with the mission of the business, and orient its focus toward improved customer service delivery.

Hear from our panelists as they discuss the top takeaways from a recent survey project titled: Trends in Legal Transformation and Technology Report, which captures insights from a survey of 278 law department leaders and legal operations professionals on how they have engaged in transformation within their departments, the kinds of initiatives they have focused on with respect to their investigations and litigation work, the barriers experienced, and the keys to success.

The Dos and Don'ts of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) (Nov 9, 2023)

The Dos and Don'ts of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) (Nov 9, 2023) a.ouko@acc.com
On-Demand

Companies are signing NDAs all the time, and they frequently have an international component. NDAs are not all the same. Before a company signs one, it should understand the significance "the risks, dangers, and benefits" of the typical provisions in an NDA and thus why a company may want a particular provision to read one way or instead another or to be omitted all together.
