“You Let What Go Out?”
Protecting Today’s Transactional Lawyer
The precision and care required to draft transactional documents can conflict with the time and billing pressures of today’s legal market. The risks for transactional lawyers intensify when you couple those pressures with the increased complexities of mobility and the varying devices used to edit or exchange documents. Lawyer and legal technology expert Robert Blacksberg and ALM market expert Lynn Frances explore new workflows and best practices to protect against these risks.
This session covered today’s workflow trends, the risks associated with these trends and technology solutions including:
- How to inject technology into your workflows to accommodate alternative fee structures while improving document quality.
- ALM Legal Intelligence Survey data on the effectiveness of collaboration between the law firm and law department.
- Procedures for improving the stability of documents as they are distributed among multiple contributors and accessed on various devices.
- Technology solutions that ensure clarity and consistency across a document or set of documents.
- Advanced workflows to safeguard proprietary or privileged information that is shared with clients and confidants.
- The efficacy of eyes-only review for transactional document proofreading.
- Best practices for reducing the risk of a lawyer screaming “You let what go out?”.
