Legal Ops in 2025: What to Ask for This Christmas
Overview
How do you manage your legal operations to get the most out of your team?
With challenging deadlines and demanding internal clients to deal with, even the most organised GC can easily find their matter management, legal intake and contract management going from efficient to messy very quickly.
Luckily, help is at hand with innovative tech solutions aimed at making these challenges a thing of the past.
In this coffee morning session, produced in association with the team at Legal 500, we will hear from corporate counsel who have had success with using new solutions and discuss their experiences with practical examples added throughout.
Ideal food for thought for any corporate counsel looking to write their 2024 Christmas list.
