In the past few years, digital tools for legal teams have become ever more popular, especially as the government has launched industry-wide systems such as Common Platform. Digital tools simplify admin but not for everyone. In a recent legal survey for 2022 conducted by Nuance, 58% of people say that they’ve simplified their admin workload. But 10% said these tools have actually added to their admin burden.

Introducing new tools or processes can sometimes create more complexity, rather than simplifying workflows, so how can we maximise the full potential of tech? As leaders select and implement new technologies, it’s vital that the solutions they choose don’t exacerbate the issues their teams are facing.

Join this webinar to hear the panel discuss practical ideas around:

  • How and which tech can drive workflow productivity / solve problems
  • How increased productivity translates into a better service
  • What considerations are important when choosing and implementing tech
