Mastering IT challenges for law firms: A NLJ & Doherty Associates webinar free to view

NLJ consultant editor David Greene hosts this free-to-view webinar with Doherty Associates on hybrid working and cybersecurity

During the webinar we explore how to foster a highly productive and collaborative hybrid workforce, no matter where they are. Plus, how to use fewer tools more effectively, and the steps to take to harmonise your data and application use.

On cybersecurity, we look at what firms who have been breached wish they’d had in place to help you learn from real-world experience and do all you can to make sure it doesn’t happen to you. Finally, we discuss AI. How do you harness the potential of technologies like ChatGPT and Microsoft Co-Pilot?


The webinar is free to view here.
