Attorney Productivity and Technical Competence

You may have heard of various efforts addressing the technical competence of lawyers, including the Legal Tech Audit and the LTC4. What’s this all about, and how do you best address the technical competency of lawyers at your own firm? Beyond working on documents, what are the other technical competencies to be considered?

Please join us for a panel discussion including those leading the charge to increase the productivity and technical competence of lawyers.
