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

Lawyers’ approaches to IT and working practices have developed since the COVID-19 pandemic, according to research carried out among 435 legal professionals by IT solutions specialists Doherty Associates

NLJ  consultant editor David Greene, senior partner, Edwin Coe, will co-run a webinar with Doherty Associates later this month on hybrid working and cybersecurity, two major trends that emerged from the research.

During the webinar, we’ll explore how to foster a highly productive and collaborative hybrid workforce, no matter where they are, and how to learn what works best for your firm.

We will look at how to use fewer tools more effectively, and the steps to take to harmonise your data and application use.

On cybersecurity, we will 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 consider AI. How do you harness the potential of technologies like ChatGPT and Microsoft Co-Pilot?

Join us on 30 November at 11am for an insightful discussion. Find out more here
