‘Innovation’ is a buzzword resonant in virtually every industry, but how many organizations actually alter their methods to strive for it? Narrowing the scope to legal, that number gets even smaller.

That isn’t to say that every legal department is reveling in years past; an upcoming Legaltech New York session, for example, is planning to give the groundbreakers an audience. In “Innovation in Law Department Operations: Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) for the 21st Century,” Eyal Iffergan, president of Hyperion Global Partners, will lead a discussion with legal operations leaders about operational excellence and attempt to define innovation as it applies to law department management today.
