Everything Trainers Should Know About the Changing Environment in Legal, But Don’t

The pace of change within legal is accelerating and transforming the industry.

What should people in IT training and support roles know about the changing nature of the business? How can training or trainers help meet the changing or evolving business goals? Please join us for a lively and enriching panel discussion of these questions and more, featuring IT leaders from law firms and law firm clients.
