Solve complex problems, forecast legal spend, manage risk and partner with a diverse set of business stakeholders—these are just a few of the vast demands placed on in-house legal. In addition, corporate legal departments are facing new disruptions, such as changes to law firm practice models and advancements in technology. What does this mean for in-house attorneys and legal operations professionals?
Legal departments looking to embrace this disruption and seeking to be a modern, strategic business partner to the entire company must find new efficiencies, turning to technology to drive greater productivity. Collaboration technology is one example of a completely new category designed to boost productivity. In some companies, other corporate functions, such as IT, operations and R&D, have already experienced the benefits of collaboration. Now this technology is making its way to the legal sector with customized platforms specific to this audience. For corporate law leaders, the right collaboration platform can play a vital role in transforming a department’s overall strategy.
