Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Alberta

According to a 2018 Ipsos survey on Legal Resources and Tools Adoption, a challenge for corporate counsel is, and remains to be, the ability to stay on top of all of the legal tech that exists in the market.

We will start with an overview of the legal tech market, turn to a workshop designed to help corporate counsel define legal process issues or business problems. And finally we will explore the types of technologies available to assist, as well as how to evaluate the various vendors to make sure products will meet your needs. 

This session on legal tech for In-house will focus on:

  • Knowledge of technology available to corporate counsel

  • An understanding of the specific business issues and possible technology solutions

  • Methodologies for driving and increasing department efficiency with the aid of technology
