Many small to medium firms and in-house teams are experiencing a real challenge at the moment – How to ensure that they have the right talent and capacity they need to turn the work over and grow their practice to the next level?

The problem has been exacerbated for regional firms, due to shrinking local talent pools.

This is leading many to look at hybrid, remote, and even offshore outsourcing agencies, to gain the capacity, flexibility, and talent they need.

But how do you effectively recruit and manage a remote or hybrid team?

This event will set out the problems to be solved, the available solutions, and how they are being applied by firms to solve these challenges. At the end of the event, attendees should have a good grounding in how to go about solving the problem for their situation and who to approach to get started.

Topic Expert:
Fiona McLay – Principal Lawyer & Legal Tech Consultant at McLay Legal Consulting

Fiona has spent 25 years as a dispute resolution lawyer working across the legal industry in top tier, mid tier, small firm, a NewLaw firm and in-house. Now working as a legal tech consultant, she has an insider’s view as to how firms across the industry are actually using (or not using) tech.

Long hours, inefficient processes and constant pressure to do more with less drove her to find ways to use tech to work more efficiently. With no budget, no IT support and (possibly because of) no innovation committee, she discovered how powerful a tech-enabled lawyer could be in litigation up against a much better resourced opponent. And with a significantly reduced risk of paper cuts.

She regularly presents to lawyers on common sense ways to adopt new ways of working. She has written a book that is a practical guide on becoming a tech enabled lawyer in any law firm. It offers practical framework on how to get the most out of the tech you have and how to spot the tech you need.
