The Legal IT 2006 trade show opens its doors on 8-9 February at the Business Design Centre in London, showcasing a broad range of IT products, solutions and services designed to increase law firms’ efficiency, profitability and competitiveness.

The show features a ‘keynote’ seminar programme. The ‘choosing’ sessions offer a guide to the buying process – how to select the best practice management system; how to choose between digital dictation suppliers; and how to select an e-conveyancing system. A complementary session addresses the practical issues of procurement and implementation in more general terms. Another talk will outline recommended techniques for managing people through periods of change and for getting partners, fee earners and IT staff working together to make the most of technology investments.
