ISSUE IN BRIEF
Why are law firms now looking outside of legal for business? Are complementary services only a fad or are they the new future for the legal industry?
We get a deep look into the finer details of managing legal process mapping, opinions on whether business services should be encouraged to contribute to innovation, and why firms need to be investing further to make a stronger mark on diversity.
We hear industry views from Thomson Reuters Elite on the case for cloud, Invest Newcastle on how the city has talent for the taking, Hogan Lovells on the scope of automation opportunity with Contract Express from Thomson Reuters, and Peppermint Technology on why now is the time for cloud.
