Associates and office space are getting more expensive, in-house budgets are shrinking, and it’s a law of the universe that profits per partner must rise year on year. In the midst of this, how can firms and in-house lawyers both win big? The answer is automation.

This seminar will show using case studies how both corporates and firms of all sizes have used the latest generation of document automation technologies to slash the cost of providing legal services, giving in-house lawyers cold hard evidence of the value they add to business, and law firm partners a route to higher profits and a way to really stand out among their peers.It will also show how automation, like other technologies before it, doesn’t mean robots taking lawyers’ jobs, but offers opportunity for those innovative enough to seize it.
