It is a time of major transformation for law firms. We face traditional pressure to increase efficiencies while improving client communication, representation and case outcomes. We are confronted with an increasingly uncertain political and financial environment. And we have the rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence that is rewriting how we and our clients approach almost everything we do.

To provide up-to-date legal counsel and maintain a competitive edge, law firms must not just acknowledge these challenges. They must turn them to their advantage by embracing new technologies, defining and attracting the “right talent,” and building relationships all while managing costs, maintaining profitability and being trial ready.

Perhaps the biggest issue over the past year and for the foreseeable future is to reimagine a litigation process infused with and guided by the power generative AI and aligned technologies can bring to bear. This prospect has sparked consternation about risk, concerns about how legal professionals will need to update their skills, and questions as to whether law firms might need to restructure the fundamentals of how they approach litigation and investigations.

Join this annual Future of Litigation webcast and hear from industry experts how technology, the economy, changes to the law, and advances in jury research and trial presentation technology are transforming litigation strategies and be empowered to thrive going forward.

This webcast will address:

  • The impact of generative AI on the litigation and investigative process, particularly on discovery;
  • Ways law firms can use generative AI to improve the services they offer;
  • How firms can ensure that they are staffed to handle tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities;
  • How to utilize technological advancements in exhibits and jury research for trying cases in today’s society;
  • Ways to use storytelling, framing of the case, and in-depth demonstrative exhibits to provide context and clarity to your audience; and
  • What firms can to do maintain and increase profitability.
