Alaska (AK) Law Practice Management CLE Course Catalog

2020 fundamentally changed the way that businesses get work done. Everyone is now fully digitized, and dependent on Zoom, Microsoft, Slack, and mobile apps to engage with others and collaborate internally. This will have a profound impact on eDiscovery as we move toward a work-from-anywhere future. Join our panel as they discuss the implications, and share best practices to prepare for the future of work.

If you are looking to implement new technologies and want to understand the steps to make the change, join this discussion and learn from award-winning legal technology experts and immigration attorneys who have a track record in creating and embedding these technologies into law firm processes.

The volume of conversations on platforms like Slack and Teams has grown exponentially in the past year, as employees look for ways to connect and work more efficiently. However, compared to email, this conversation data is largely nuanced and unstructured—making discovery and governance a challenge.

In this session, the panel will discuss why this data set is drastically different and explore considerations.

Payment collections are a complex, time-consuming, and costly burden for law firms. Clients may pay late; or use paper checks, lockboxes, and bank trips that can create sluggish cash flow bottlenecks. Your staff may even spend endless hours on reconciling accounts and following up on delinquent invoices. Digital payment platforms resolve many of the above-referenced pain points associated with the collections process.

Join our distinguished panelists from corporate legal departments, legal technology providers, and law firms as we examine several interesting ELM case studies to illustrate its criticality to Legal Ops.

In high growth companies, contracting pain points can make your organization less competitive. Fortunately, your legal team has access to world-class, robust AI solutions that can help enhance performance of the legal team and avoid common business pitfalls. If deployed correctly, contract AI can be a legal team’s best friend - shrinking the knowledge gap across years and silos, acting as a digital assistant to automate repetitive tasks, and arming lawyers with tools that help them be proactive rather than responsive.

When implemented correctly, automating repetitive tasks in the contract lifecycle process should accelerate the sales cycle without compromising Legal's function as a primary risk manager. When you implement effective, automated document and contract management solutions, you will reduce risk, improve visibility and accelerate cycles.

In this session, we will discuss ways to organize workflows and use technology to reduce the risk of miscommunications and improve the efficiency of handling information overload. Learn how to remove barriers to ensure that everyone has the information they need.

Join this session as our veteran practitioners discuss why your team should create ESI protocols; some of the common pitfalls that occur around this process; and how to prevent common discovery disputes stemming from electronic data.
