This session will give you a better understanding of how digital technology, collaboration and interactivity can help improve overall efficiency and better outcomes, thus setting your firm apart from the rest.

Gathering the attorneys from one office together can be a challenge, never mind gathering witnesses from across the state or country. Clients are asking attorneys to cut costs but expecting the same results. More attorneys are working from home, yet meetings are still a necessary part of law firm business. Solid collaboration tools are the solution to all of these problems and more. Join us while our Instructor discusses what you need to know about the legal, ethical and practical issues when it comes to utilizing collaboration tools in your practice.

Additionally, you will experience the use of interactive whiteboards with trial presentation software to enhance the effectiveness of trial presentations and training.
