Overview

Alongside OpenText, the enterprise information management software provider Legal Business hosted a webinar on 30 September.

The thrust of the session was to highlight cost-effective and efficient solutions for legal departments in a post-lockdown world. The format was a panel discussion among prominent in-house counsel, OpenText and Legal Business on why the rapid evolution of the digital workplace, accelerated by Covid-19, means companies must have the tools to function properly.

Discussion points included:

• Covid has exposed flaws in existing systems. There is a need to focus on ‘critical’ systems and tech rather than smart new technology now.
• Discussing the options out there for GCs and legal operations professionals to take control and look at bespoke enterprise content management.
• The need to move away from inefficient private practice offerings to reduce costs, save time now and future proof the business.
• GCs to share their experiences of this in recent years.
• Insight into where we are headed over the next 18 months.

• Angelique de Lafontaine, Head of Legal, Bupa
• Tracey Dovaston, Partner, Boies Schiller Flexner (UK) LLP
• Neil Murrin, General Counsel and Director, Regulatory Affairs at Trainline
