Description
Legal operations are vital to the success of law firms and legal departments, and they present unique challenges and opportunities across disciplines and verticals. In this webinar fashioned after a TED talk, we'll address this popular topic from ILTACON 2017. Five industry experts will discuss the challenges and opportunities they encounter in ebilling, process improvement, contract management, litigation support and ediscovery. The panelists will discuss their vertical for 10 minutes each, with 10 minutes reserved at the end for Q&A. Both corporate legal departments and law firms are represented on the panel, and members from both are encouraged to attend.
