Modern legal departments bear little resemblance to what they were but a decade ago. No longer solely seen as a cost center that relies on outsourced work, these departments are tasked with helping organizations meet their bottom line, in no small part by bringing more work and processes in-house and acting as business advisers.
While this transformation is fueled by a multitude of factors, it could have not taken place without the growing impact of legal technology. Such technology plays an integral role in enabling a more agile and efficient legal team, and its potential is still being realized.
To understand what will define the future of how legal departments work and look, Legaltech News caught up with Morae Legal's newest managing directors, Brian Stearns and Mark Woolfolk.
