The webinar is a non-geek’s guide to practical steps you can take that require little or no capital outlay but will improve the way you work, your client’s satisfaction with your work and your firm’s bottom line.

Common reasons for not starting digital transformation (in any industry) are:

  1. too many ideas
  2. not enough time
  3. no budget.
  4. They overlook that there is serious innovation capacity in improving internal processes and people.

The webinar will cover low cost steps that you can take in your law firm today to adapt to the changes reshaping the legal services market:

  • working smarter
  • unbundling legal service delivery
  • legal project management
  • people management
  • credible social media presence

You don’t need to wait for the leadership team to produce a five year innovation plan. Find out what you can you do to use the new legal tech tools immediately.

Fiona McLay
Principal Lawyer & Legal Tech Consultant at McLay Legal Consulting

Fiona has spent 25 years as a dispute resolution lawyer working across the legal industry in top tier, mid tier, small firm, a NewLaw firm and in-house. Now working as a legal tech consultant, she has an insider’s view as to how firms across the industry are actually using (or not using) tech.

Long hours, inefficient processes and constant pressure to do more with less drove her to find ways to use tech to work more efficiently. With no budget, no IT support and (possibly because of) no innovation committee, she discovered how powerful a tech-enabled lawyer could be in litigation up against a much better resourced opponent. And with a significantly reduced risk of paper cuts.

She regularly presents to lawyers on common sense ways to adopt new ways of working. She has written a book that is a practical guide on becoming a tech enabled lawyer in any law firm. It offers practical framework on how to get the most out of the tech you have and how to spot the tech you need.
