A law firm’s efforts to become a technology-enabled and efficiency-focused business require a lot of moving parts. And none of them is more important than its IT department. At the “Leadership for IT” session at Legalweek 2018 conference in New York, law firm CIOs explained how bringing the IT teams closer into law firm business and culture is essential to any successful change management effort.
And a law firm that is looking to leverage technology and bring efficient services in-house will force all its internal teams to embrace change. “The change is as constant for attorneys as it is for [the IT department],” said Rob Kerr, CIO at Cooley, “We’re constantly making changes to the systems they are using, and we have to find ways to better enable them.”
