Description

Over the past decade, there has been an explosion of point-solutions for legal operations, creating a new problem for law organizations: operating efficiently across multiple incompatible and disconnected point solutions. Fortunately, with the arrival of ELM solutions, we are on the verge of a new phase in the maturing of legal ops technology.

Panelists will clarify what constitutes an ELM platform, examine its unique and compelling capabilities, and discuss its strategic and tactical advantages, particularly those stemming from data-driven insights and machine-driven decision making. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the significance of the emergence of ELM solutions, what firms and law departments can achieve with ELM platform, and practical and ethical considerations related to adopting an ELM solution.

This program was recorded as part of ALM's Legalweek 2021 Virtual Conference on February 4th, 2021.
