Technology-assisted review has come a long way since its early introduction as predictive coding. While each version has its merits and place, it is important to understand that in order to select the right approach for your discovery needs, one must truly understand the underlying process and variables such as time and cost. However, has the time come for TAR 3.0 and what does that look like for discovery professionals?

***This is a non-CLE seminar*** To better understand the shifting nature of these responsibilities, Corporate Counsel has conducted an exclusive survey with senior in-house counsels and legal leaders to gauge how their relationship with the board has changed over the last year. Our research also asked what role these senior in-house counsels now play in driving business results within their organization as well as how compliance, data privacy, cybersecurity and other issues now play into the decision-making process.

The session participants will explain how legal ops can be used to better understand a legal department’s process challenges, help evaluate and diagnose system challenges, and help with technology needs in order to be as efficient and as effective as possible.

As so many aspects of our lives have changed forever, the permanent mark has been placed on the way employers acquire and maintain their employees. How have employers been finding their new employees and based on those experiences, what suggestions can be offered to their peers? In addition, our panelists will explore how corporate culture is/will be viewed going forward as well as strategies for training and promoting talent.

The pandemic has forced legal departments to digitize and implement technology solutions faster than they normally would have. We will examine the impact that adoption has had as well as what is needed to continue to integrate technological advances into day-to-day operations in order to create efficiencies and free up time to perform more of the high-value work.

One of the lasting effects of the pandemic will, of course, be the change in the way we work. As employers continue to bring employees back to the office, this panel discussion will look to provide some items to bear in mind, including what these permanent changes to the work environments have looked like, what has worked, and what to expect going forward.

Besides becoming a pop-culture catchphrase, how has the shift to a virtual environment impacted proceedings over the last year, and what changes do you believe are here to stay? Our panel of experts will examine some of the greatest challenges, faux pas, and successes in virtual proceedings over the course of this transformative time.

Today, in most areas of a business, success is measured clearly with metrics and KPIs that illustrate growth. In legal departments, metrics for measuring success remain unclear with some companies still using ”nothing went wrong” as the main indicator of a successful legal department. That simple metric fails to capture the impact and effectiveness of legal departments. So what KPIs and metrics should you be setting to determine success? This session will cover how to introduce a KPI program for your department.

As we settle into a post-pandemic world, there is no better time to take inventory on what tools are bettering our overall work performance and making legal’s day-to-day responsibilities easier and more efficient. Our tech-savvy experts will discuss which technologies are here to stay as we embark on the new normal.
