Eversheds Sutherland is to start training sessions for all its U.K. partners in the field of legal technology.

Speaking at Legal Week's Strategic Technology Forum in Marbella last week, Eversheds co-head of innovation, Andrew McManus, said it was a growing necessity for partners to feel comfortable discussing the key issues and firm's capabilities with clients. As a result the firm will start a training program this September.

“The idea is that every partner will go through a face-to-face exercise with a range of people training them on technology,” said McManus, who was appointed to the role earlier this year.
