How to effectively harness the power of digital transformation

Key technologies – including AI, machine learning, and digital video conferencing – are proven to improve the speed, effectiveness, and efficiency of lawyers, allowing them to focus on their core business. While technology will "never be a substitute for the application of judgment and ethics that lawyers deliver to their clients and was never meant to do so, it can free up resources and time for more complex, value-added work," Smith says, noting that those that choose to ignore this fact risk finding themselves at a competitive disadvantage. Backed by a panel of leading experts including Helen Voudouris, Director of Online Product Management, LexisNexis Canada Inc.; Charles E. Gluckstein, Managing Partner, Gluckstein Lawyers; Susan Wortzman, Partner, McCarty Tetrault LLP; Al Hounsell, Senior Innovation Lawyer, Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP; and Natalie Munroe, Chief, Osler Works - Transactional & Legal Operations, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, the webinar will explore the latest technological trends and identify ways to thrive in an evolving legal industry. The panel is set to tackle topics such as the role of automation and AI in driving productivity, digitizing knowledge management, and ultimately how new technologies are forcing firms to rethink how they operate. "This webinar will be an excellent opportunity for lawyers to get real-world examples from practicing lawyers on how the newest technology was implemented, how processes are managed, and the benefits to the organization," Smith says.
