2009 marked the beginning of a new era in the use of IT in legal practice, and virtual legal practices. But an incredible amount has happened just since the last Conference - the pace of innovation is, and needs to be, relentles, including:

  • the emergence of iPads and smartphones as a dominant UI,
  • explosion in social networking, and collaboration platforms,
  • the acceptance of "the cloud",
  • the arrival of real AI applications in law,
  • the feeding frenzy by non-lawyers on the 85% of legal work not done by lawyers.

Our speakers will discuss how the use of mature social networking, twitter, wikis, extranets, deal rooms, and other tools can make communicating with your clients, experts, and colleagues obligatory. These technologies are maturing at a time when there are major changes within the legal profession as new local and global legal service providers serve up unexpected competition.

With the interesting array of speakers presenting in rapid-fire sessions, the Conference will challenge your thinking and expand your network.
