Leaning on Trusted Partners to Drive Legal Tech Adoption and Avoid Failed Implementation
It's no secret that legal departments are under ever-increasing pressure to run like the businesses they serve. Spend discipline, operational reporting and metrics and generally doing more with less are now well-established norms in legal practice, and even terms like return on investment, once reserved for the business world, are now frequent topics of conversation among legal practitioners feeling the heat to modernize their departments.
Thankfully, in addition to developing a better understanding of how to unbundle business processes from the practice of law over the last several years, legal stakeholders are now being treated to technology solutions that are light-years ahead of what the market was offering relatively recently.
