Have you ever heard the saying, "We all have the same 24 hours in a day?" The problem is, we know that's not true. Beyoncé, for example, has a whole team of people to eliminate tasks and burdens from her life, leaving more time to focus on what she wants. IG programs need to “Beyoncé-ify” their workflows, i.e., develop procedures that reduce the burden of the incoming work to create bandwidth for other projects. AI has thrust Legal’s ROT problem into the spotlight, but who has time to clear out old data when hundreds of requests come through daily? This session highlighted case studies and insights from firms that have implemented a proactive approach, including how they got leadership's go-ahead and what they learned.

Leadership often comes wrapped in glossy language—vision, impact, influence. But behind the brochure lies a messier truth. In this episode, we step into the stories executives rarely tell: the moments that looked impressive on paper but felt anything but behind the scenes.
- That “C-suite moment” that checked every box—except the one labeled fulfillment
- The disconnect between expectations and reality, and how leaders navigate the emotional fallout
- The conversations you wish you could have had, but didn’t - And the quiet recalibrations that keep you grounded when everything around you feels off-script
This episode moves past the polished narrative and into the lived experience of executive leadership. If you’ve ever felt like the role didn’t match the promise, you’re not alone—and this conversation proves it.

Ambition can be a powerful force—but when myths and missteps fuel it, the climb to the top can feel more like a trap than a triumph. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on executive leadership and ask: What’s really behind the chase for the title?
- Why would anyone actively pursue C-Suite roles?
- What are the wrong reasons to chase the C-suite—and how can you spot them before they derail your path?
- What did we think mattered in landing the role, only to discover it didn’t?
- And when the pressure peaks, have we ever considered walking away? What made us stay?
This episode hooks aspiring leaders early with honest reflections and hard-earned wisdom. If you’ve ever wondered whether the title is worth the trade-offs, this conversation is for you.

In this podcast interview, the speaker will provide best cybersecurity practices for law firms.
Questions the moderator will ask the speaker:
-Law firms deal with a treasure trove of sensitive client information. What are the top cybersecurity threats they face, and how can they effectively guard against them in today's ever-evolving threat landscape? -Considering the interconnected nature of legal systems and the vast amount of data transmission, how can law firms ensure the security of client data, both in transit and at rest? Are there specific encryption methods or best practices they should be implementing? -Phishing attacks and social engineering are persistent threats, especially with employees as potential entry points. What strategies or training programs do you recommend for law firms to protect their staff from falling victim to these increasingly sophisticated attacks? -In the unfortunate event of a cybersecurity incident, what steps should a law firm take in terms of incident response and recovery? How can they minimize the impact and get back on their feet as quickly as possible? -Employee training and awareness play a crucial role in any organization's cybersecurity strategy. How can law firms foster a security-conscious culture among their staff, and what ongoing training initiatives would you recommend?

Interested in learning more about the Metaverse and Digital Asset Practices and how they can affect your legal practice, stay tuned for an in-depth conversation with Nikki Shaver and partners from Falcon, Rappaport & Berkman LLP
Questions the moderator will ask the speakers:
-Falcon Rappaport opened an "office" in the metaverse. Can you explain to listeners what the metaverse is and why the firm decided to engage with it in this way?-Did you find it beneficial? Is it something you'd do again?-What is the crypto-economy and why would firms want to engage with it?
-Your firm accepts cryptocurrency. Can you discuss the benefit of doing so?
-There has been a misperception around crypto, for example that it's used for illegitimate transactions. Can you explain to listeners why legitimate law firm clients want to use it to pay their legal fees?-How do they even do that? (PayPal, Venmo, ATMs etc.)-Do you think it's short-sighted of firms NOT to offer cryptocurrency as a payment option (some firms still can't even offer credit card payments!)?
-Why did the firm decide to create this practice and what were the benefits of doing so?-Overall, do you two think the fact that your firm is open to doing things in new ways has opened new pathways for you and brought in clients you might not otherwise have had?-Is your firm also already exploring generative AI?

“Doing the Right IT Projects” sounds simple. It should be how you to start your project lifecycle and quality methodology: Setting criteria for how IT projects are selected, prioritized and planned, and how the appropriate level of project management, quality assurance and resources are assigned.
There are buckets/workstreams for large/complex IT projects and for simple projects that need only project and testing checklists. Once the right projects are in the queue, then you move on to “Doing IT Projects Right”, the initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, transition to operate and maintain, and of course, adoption.
IT is then supporting business service demands and strategic goals across all IT projects in the organization. This podcast session provides a takeaway in the form of a framework for anyone who is responsible for how technologies are implemented or has to manage IT projects, or really manage any projects in a legal organization.

Given the complex nature of AI and the fact that these models are not transparent, the speaker shared best tips on what do you need to know about your AI model, who built it and what is it based on?
Questions the moderator asked the speaker: 1) What is and what is not AI? 2) What are AI models? 3) If you are using a pre-generated AI model what are some questions to ask:
- what is it based on? - do you know how the model was trained? - is there any data in the model that may cause the model to provide you with unexpected results?
etc 4) How can AI help with managing your data?
IE: it can be a tool to help move redundant copies of docs from your data universe; it can summarize info in a document and know where to ‘file’ it or categorize it (info gov idea here) 5) Is generative AI useful in a legal document review setting? Discuss 6) Is this technology going to be similar to how blockchain never really caught on in legal? 7) Can natural language processing help uncover information in your data set that would be missed by pure keyword searches? (which some lawyers believe is the gold standard of search) 8) What about emotional intelligence / sentiment analysis?

Identifying "Moments of Friction" -- workers' pain points with technology, processes and adoption is critical. In this session, the speaker discussed how to identify whether a MOF is a result of technology or psychology; highlight pain points; adoption; needs analysis; dig into the why and learning how to get to the root/core of the issue and user frustration.
Questions the moderator will ask the speaker: -Why don’t you tell us a bit about the framework you like to use when thinking about the needs around training, and how those give way to the moments of friction that arise? -This question is why I refer to change management as equal parts comms and therapy: how can we make sure users feel as though their needs were taken into account? -We’re all aware that most people don’t exactly love change. What are some ways to tell whether workers’ friction with new tech or processes is due to that, or if there’s something bigger at play? -I think most people overlook frequent and useful communication as a tool to help along adoption: what are some ways you’ve best decreased friction in the past? -Final (tricky) question: what do you do when people bring you in after things have already gone off the rails?

Some people predict that by 2025 half of legal teams will be staffed by non-lawyers. Will that be perceived as a threat or an opportunity? Do lawyers need to learn legal tech, or can they just hire people who specialize in it but are not lawyers? Do you need to be a lawyer to effectively use legal tech? Questions moderator will ask speakers: - The term “non lawyer” is sometimes perceived as quite controversial. Many people who support the business of law feel it is used to marginalize expertise. With the development of legal technologies being a lawyer is not always a needed qualification to plan, implement and use the tools. In your experience how does it help to be a lawyer or not, when using legal technologies? - Where do you see non lawyers working cases, supporting transactions, being part of case teams, etc. today? - With more and more demand on expertise to “drive” legal technologies, or perform data analysis, do you think layers need to learn these skills? Or can they just hire non-lawyers to work side by side with lawyers? Or both? - Do you think the balance could even tip that within law firms more non-lawyers are leveraged to work and manage cases and lawyers solely focus on the parts that require analysis and practice of the law? - What does all this mean for the legal profession, will the job description of lawyers change over time? Why or why not?

Common vocabularies are a core requirement if firms want to fully utilize the knowledge created by their attorneys. Organizing those vocabularies into a taxonomy makes it easier to share knowledge across tools and practices. However, many firms don’t create or maintain common taxonomies, resulting in knowledge gaps and a lack of findability.
A common vocabulary, whether it’s something that’s specific to your firm or leveraging existing taxonomies like SALI, is an investment of both time and money, but putting in the effort allows attorneys to quickly find colleagues who have specific skills, experience, or backgrounds.
Questions the moderator asked the speaker:
1.Is there one thing in particular that made you realize that this was a problem, and one that needed to be solved?
2.Talking about taxonomies tends to make people tune out. How did you get buy in from other groups?
3.How do you maintain your taxonomies? Is it a group effort? If so, which groups should be involved?
4.What would be your recommendations for firms that are just starting to engage with this issue?

Just because you’re not a large law firm doesn’t mean you don’t do e-discovery! You have litigation matters that are just as important, and that means you need to know the proper tools to use for collecting, reviewing, and producing relevant data. In this session, we’ll have a attorney and paralegal from not-so-huge law firms discussing the tools and workflows they use to successfully navigate the e-discovery world in which they practice. Questions the moderator will ask the speaker: · First let's define small firm. Why do small/mid-size firms need to be smart about eDiscovery? What challenges do they face which big firms may not? · How should a small/mid-size firm address eDiscovery technology – should they invest and manage their own, or look for external partners? · What are some good tools for eDiscovery for these firms? · How can a small/mid-size firm upskill in eDiscovery? What’s your one action point/next step for small/mid-size firms listening to this podcast?

Are controlled phishing campaigns against your members the best way to keep your respective firm secure from phishing? This podcast session will look at phishing simulation tools, their overall pros/cons and alternatives available to keep your members secure from getting hooked with that phish. Questions the moderator asked the speaker: 1. Phishing is thought to have originated in 1995 and love bug struck in 2000. Here we are today in 2023 and phishing is still our number one vector of compromise. We've been able to reduce the risk of malware: why is phishing such a struggle? 2. All security programs preach the importance of user awareness training, and it's been a requirement of clients and regulations for many years now. The majority of user awareness programs utilize phishing simulations. So, I guess the questions is, Are phishing campaigns still a good route forward? Are they being successful at training our users not to fall for that phish? 3. What's the best approach for including phishing awareness into your program? Is it best to continuously cast a line or occasionally try your luck at the phishing hole? 4. I've been hearing more lately about User coaching and how technology can be leveraged to protect users from themselves while presenting coaching opportunities when they do things that they shouldn't. Is this a strategy that's effective in reducing the risk of phishing? I'm not sure it would be a technology talk if we didn't speak about AI. How do you feel the future of AI impacts the threat of phishing and what steps should we be thinking about now to try and get in front of it?

Legal Operations is a broad emerging discipline that encompasses all aspects of the business of law including litigation support, technology, service delivery and more. Thus, eDiscovery is a major operational consideration for law firms and corporate law departments tasked with managing and securing data. Organizations typically handle eDiscovery along a spectrum where they insource or outsource certain elements of the process. What are the risks and benefits of different eDiscovery service models? How might development of key personnel to manage aspects of service give firms a competitive advantage?
Questions Ann asked the speakers:
-How would you describe the significance of eDiscovery services as a component of legal operations for a law firm or corporation?
-What are some of the costs associated with developing talent to manage eDiscovery within the firm, and how are those costs justified?
-What additional considerations should be weighed when determining how much of the eDiscovery process to insource?
-Once you start a team, how can you grow the team and what additional areas could the group serve? Moderator:

How can we articulate the value of technology in helping meeting client expectations and improving the bottom line? In this session, the speakers discussed this and more. Questions Glenn will ask the speakers:
-There is a perception by some attorneys that technology is a cost of business and, specifically, only a support function. Where do you think this stems from?
-Based on this perception, each of you have likely identified strategies to convince attorney and leaders that technology is more than simply a cost of doing business. What strategies have you employed or seen others employed to convince attorneys of the benefit of technology?
-The best made plans, particularly for a junior leader, may look great on paper but suddenly become challenging when put to practice. Throughout your career, what obstacles have you faced when employing these strategies? Are there any risks? Have any backfired?
-For new C-suite or director level leaders, what would you encourage them to do to advocate for technology projects particular in light of the current economy? How do you recommend they approach business value/ROI when proposing technology?
-To help with your persuasion, do you engage with client teams such as their legal department) to better understand their business needs?
- We’ve touched on a few of the key stakeholders but there are certainly more. Do you find that you need to approach stakeholders in different ways when convincing them of a technology’s value?
- Can you share any examples of where technology clearly helped the bottom line?
-Any final thoughts?

AI has become an integral piece of responsive/non-responsive coding for reviewing eDiscovery data, and in our last podcast in the series, we discussed how it is increasingly being applied to Privilege reviews. In this session, we focused on how AI is being used for Personal Information Identification.
Questions Andrea asked Dan:
-What do you see as the status quo for how teams identify and redact personal information, and what are some of the pitfalls? -What specific advantages does AI offer when compared with that status quo? -As new privacy regulations continue to expand, how are you seeing AI being applied to Personal Information identification beyond traditional legal use cases like litigation or an investigation? -What are the risks associated with using AI for Personal Information identification, and what hurdles have teams faced in adopting it? -What practical advice can you offer to the listeners who’ve been hesitant to leverage AI within their organization?

Overwhelmingly, law firms operate as though attorneys are the ""important"" parts of their business, and that business staff is... well, chopped liver. How can firms adjust/improve their language to change this attitude/perception?
Questions Harriet asked the speakers: • The landscape for hiring and recruiting within law firms has changed a lot since January 2020 (and again since the end of 2022). What are some of the biggest changes you’ve seen in the industry/in convos with peers? What surprised everyone the most about how recruiting/hiring has changed in the legal field? (I’m thinking first year associate pay has got to be a big one!) • What are your predictions for how things will stay the same/change in law firm operations over the next 5-10 years? Do you think attorneys will fundamentally change their expectations around work-life balance? And how are firm resources being marketed to attorneys during their recruiting process (as part of the support package)? (i.e. research departments, LPM, etc) • Let’s talk a bit about the split in law firms between attorneys and “everyone else”… what have you seen across the industry, and do you think those divisions are breaking down, becoming more defined, or something else? I’m also interested in how you think this will play out as the market retracts again: it’s been popular to cut back on administrative staffing in times of financial concern, but that loads more work back onto attorneys—do you see anything differently happening this time around?

We also discussed the impetus for the creation of the platform, the obstacles Melissa faced, and how she has driven engagement with associates and partners. Questions Kristin asked Melissa: 1. Can you provide a little background about your role at the firm and your practice management department? Who handles staffing? 2. First, what did you identify as gaps in the staffing process that led to the development of your tool? 3. At the outset, who were your champions and where were your obstacles? 4. How did you decide to build something in-house as opposed to going to a third party vendor? 5. What are the primary features of your tool and what aspects are you still looking to build out? 6. Who references and utilizes the reports? 7. How are you continuing to drive engagement with the tool? Any ongoing challenges? Moderator: @Kristin Rhodes - Senior Practice Manager, Paul Hastings LLP

We've seen an increasing number of requests for help around task management that go beyond traditional legal project management tools. Associates wants to see everything assigned to them, and be able to manage it without partners seeing how they're doing so. Partners want to see tasks they’ve assigned across clients and matters. The problem seems like one that should be easily solved with technology, but when you dig into the issues, you realize that no one has a good solution. What is getting in the way of delivering a task management solution that works for attorneys? Questions Holly will be asking Floor: 1. Firms have tried using a lot of different technologies to help associates manage their tasks and give partners insight into status, but most of these efforts haven’t been successful. Why is this so difficult to solve? 2. Oftentimes, when we hear from attorneys on this topic, the conversation starts with them saying “I want this technology”, but we know that if a technology could solve the issue we wouldn’t be having this conversation. How can we have a more productive conversation with our attorneys, not just on this topic, but generally? 3. The term ‘innovation’ gets used a lot, but again, it often seems to be used when discussing technological solutions. What would be a better way of having a conversation about innovation?

But how do you connect these three concepts within your organizations? Listen to this discussion with Rachel Shields Williams from Sidley Austin and Debbie Foster from Affinity Consulting Group.
Questions Rachel will ask Debbie: · What is the secret to connecting people, process and technology in today’s modern law firm. · Is there one part of the “People, Process, and Technology” that leaders should focus on more? Or do you see people focus one more than the other? · Common pit falls when trying to connect the dots? · What is one piece of advice that you would give to anyone trying to connect the dots?

The majority of breaches today no longer come through delivered malware as our systems have become very strong with detecting and blocking these resulting in more effort than value for the attacker. Instead, it’s easier, faster and more economical to just try and steal your password, or better yet have you provide it yourself.

The majority of breaches today no longer come through delivered malware as our systems have become very strong with detecting and blocking these resulting in more effort than value for the attacker. Instead, it’s easier, faster and more economical to just try and steal your password, or better yet have you provide it yourself. This podcast takes a look at the security risks that are actually derived from one of our more important security controls… passwords; and look at what we can do to minimize those risks moving forward.

In this podcast session, we will discuss if continue to work remote, what needs to change? What do we stand to gain and what do we stand to lose? Questions Marlene will ask the speakers: 1. What is the current state of remote work? Who is working remotely in law and are we seeing changes in who or how much in the last few months? 2. A recent ALM survey on incoming summer associates reported that only 25% percent of the respondents felt concern about connecting with colleagues and getting adequate training in remote programs. This was down from 53% last year. Does that surprise you? 3. Have you heard of any particularly creative methods organizations are using to keep communication going in remote teams? 4. What is the economic and financial impact of remote work on organizations? 5. If organizations are seeing remote work as a solution long term, what sort of skills and characteristics should they be looking for in their hiring and retention practices?

Most lawyers are enthusiastic about innovation projects, until they are put in charge. The toll it could take on their billable hours, the risk of attaching their reputation to an innovation project, and simply the work itself can all be overwhelming. For that reason, they usually prefer to let someone else to innovate for them. In this interview session, we will highlight how a practicing attorney was convinced to get involved in an innovation project, what support was provided to help her succeed, and what she did to solve her own problem – to the benefit of the entire firm – within the time span of 4 months. Questions Barbara will ask speakers: 1) Tell us in short about your project and how was it different from the others that you did in the past. 2) What made you say yes to this program? 3) What were the biggest challenges and takeaways from going through this process? 4) What do you think law firms can do to encourage more practicing attorneys to get involved in projects like this? 5) What are the benefits of having practicing attorneys involved in innovation projects and why doesn’t it happen very often?

Questions Rachel will ask Nikki: • Adoption is critical to the success to legal technology, during the planning process when should the conversation around adoption take place? • Do you think challenge to legal tech adoption is a US centric problem or is this a global industry problem? • Do you think lawyers are really change adverse or is the value not always articulated? • Who should decide if technology is successfully adopted? Who is responsible for articulating the value? • What skills do you think need to be applied to have successful adoption?

This podcast interview session will take a look into our mobile devices (super computers in our pocket) and the built in (or lack there of) security around them. Can we rely on our devices out of box as long as they’re managed or has the time come where we need to take mobile security to the next level? Questions that David will ask speaker: 1. Mobile devices are essentially a smaller version of a computer that can fit in your pocket. They’re on us and in use almost all the time. Confidential information flows to, from and through them, yet we don’t seem to secure them to the same level as a computer. Is that because they’re just secure out of the box? Or are we missing something? 2. What types of threats and attacks should we be concerned about with our mobile devices? 3. A lot of organizations may say we use MDM (mobile device management) to secure our mobile fleet of devices. Is an MDM sufficient? 4. If out of the box security and usage of an MDM is not quite enough, what addition protections should we be looking at? 5. How should different usage patterns and user interfaces of mobile devices factor into an organization's model of the mobile security threat and mobile security solutions? 6.Obviously budgets and staff have an influence on just how much security you can deploy and manage. What would be the top 3 items that all businesses and mobile users should put into place to help protect their mobile devices?

Questions the Co-Moderators will ask Speakers: ○ Could you please tell our listeners a little about yourselves? Aaron, let's start with you. ○ If you both could briefly chime in as to what e-signatures are and what you can accomplish with them, that would be a great place to start. ○ Can you explain for our listeners, how Notaries worked pre-pandemic? ○ With the ongoing digital transformation, eSignatures became very popular in the last 2 years. More eSignature vendors offer unique features to digitize traditional workflows in different industries. We know you are familiar with online notarization and Virtual Rooms.

This session will review the different opportunities to make data-driven decisions in law firms and the challenges that go with them. Ideally the session, will differentiate between organizational/enterprise applications and client facing/legal advice applications. The goal is to map when data-driven decision-making is a good idea and when it is not. Further the session, will explore what to look for in terms of actions taken from data alone (bias, available data) and give tips how to get started and where to find structured data within your organization/firm to get started for a quick win. Questions Christiane will ask Andrew: • How can data enhance decision making? • When is it not appropriate? • What are the limitations: Bias, Data Hygiene • What needs to happen to make better use of data in the future?

Everyone is talking about data analytics and the evolving role of KM in conducting analytics. In this podcast, we will discuss where do you start, what tools are needed, what skill sets are required, how do you avoid stepping on the toes of others in the firm, such as the marketing or finance team and who may also be doing analysis of data? Questions Carolyn will ask Bobbi: 1. Traditionally KM has been about developing standards, templates and taxonomies to locate knowledge and expertise within the organization. But, now, we are starting to see the evolving “role of data” in providing actionable information as part of knowledge management. Bobbi, does this resonate with you? 2. DA Investments/Efforts/Initiatives: a. The increasing interest in data analytics – used to be fairly focused on financials and LPM, but now seeing analytics around diversity and retention, legal process improvement – is that consistent with what you are seeing in firms? b. Is the push to do more with data analytics coming from clients or from within firms themselves as they strive to find ways to improve efficiencies and profitability? 3. Building Capabilities (Hiring Trends/Roles) a. A few years ago there was a trend to hire data scientists and data analysts – is this trend continuing? b. How are you seeing that KM’s role is evolving to support data analytics capabilities? 4. Where to Start (Demonstrating Value/Low Hanging Fruit). A What is the low hanging fruit? B What would be the advice you’d give the person who wants to show the value of data analytics as applied in the “real world” of a practicing law firm Moderator: @Caroline Sweeney - Director of Knowledge Management & Innovation, Dorsey & Whitney

Change management is a critical part of any successful project or initiative. With so much change happening both in the legal industry and in the world as a whole, a good change management program has never been more important, especially if your firm expects to continue with a hybrid work model into the foreseeable future. In this podcast, we’ll talk to Sharon Ford, Change Management Manager at Perkins Coie, about how to think about change management in a hybrid workplace. Questions that Holly will ask Sharon: 1. Over the past two years, people have gone through a tremendous amount of change. Does the pace of change in the world at large impact how we talk about change internally to our stakeholders and end users? 2. What are some aspects of change management that become more important when communicating with a hybrid workforce? 3. What are some specific issues, or ‘gotchas’, that people involved in change management efforts may not realize will be problematic? 4. A successful change management effort will always tailor the message to the audience. Has the way you think about different audiences changed in a hybrid environment? 5. If you could provide listeners with one (or two!) takeaways for putting together a successful change management initiative in a hybrid environment, what would it be?

· Kate, you were pretty excited when we first spoke about this potential topic. Tell us a bit about yourself and your experience and how it relates to the art and craft of building effective business cases.
· “Business Case” is a term of art that can mean different things to different people and in different contexts so let’s start there. What is a “business case”… or more specifically, what is “an effective business case?”
· Based on your experience, where do you recommend people start? What topic or element should they focus on first?
· Once the business goals and objectives are clearly defined, what comes next? What are the other elements that we should think about including?
· This seems like a LOT of information to wade through. How do you balance that against the probability that the C-Level or senior decision maker may not have the time and energy to comb through all these details?
· You described the business case as an “investment in the future success of the project”. What did you mean by that? How does the business case come into play after you get the green light to move the project/purchase forward?

The pandemic has brought about an opportunity for individuals to reflect on their lives, and most, in fact 77% of the legal professionals want to retain elements of this new virtual, remote working - to varying degrees. And critically, 22% said they are likely to leave if their employers didn’t accommodate the new way they want to work. In this podcast, we will briefly discuss differing perspectives on remote working, the benefits and drawbacks to individuals, firms and clients to remote working, the impact on collaboration and differences by subgroup, working patterns, before and during COVID-19 and desired post-pandemic and which roles should remote working be available to, plus with or without restrictions. We will also understand where you fit in and how you can maximize your own and your teams’ productivity as we progress into a new world of work with mixtures of both distributed and in person teams.

This topic was one of ILTACON 2021's most popular conference sessions, and as security is a concern to many the original panel has reunited for a follow-up podcast.
Security is complex and when left without robust resources of money, knowledge, and people we sometimes revert to the ostrich head in the sand approach. Even though we try to do our best, we sometimes fall into bad habits. This podcast session is the opposite of sharing best practices . . . we will call out the absolute worst mistakes. Without mentioning any entity or name, we will discuss the criticality of certain practices. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to walk away with a private GOLD STAR or perhaps the feeling of "oh no, I do that and better fix that" without having to admit it to your peers.

The continued growth of law firms, and the increasing transience of their attorneys, have created many new risks for firms to account for regarding conflicts of interest management. Increasingly, large international Firms have transitioned to a centralized approach for conflicts clearance, utilizing non fee-earning professionals for this function.
Despite this, challenges remain - particularly stemming from increasingly restrictive conflicts language within Outside Counsel Guidelines as well as recent US case law. In this podcast session, the speaker will focus on discussing the unique conflicts challenges faced by US firms with international presence and various approaches to these challenges; how technology and centralization are the key to meeting these challenges; and whether changes to the conflicts rules are needed in order to "modernize" and account for the breadth of today's international law firm and technological advances.

Amy Monaghan, Senior Practice Innovations Manager, Perkins Coie, had the great honor of speaking with Jason Barnwell, Assistant General Counsel—Modern Legal at Microsoft for this inaugural episode of the Emerging Roles in Legal podcast series. Jason never fails to provide thought-provoking insights and my personal favorite quote from this episode is that "business presents a candy store of broken things!" Of course, we see the broken things as opportunities for innovation, which is where these new skillsets and emerging roles in legal are needed.
If you're interested in hearing more from Jason, check out the Business of Law Podcast and also his posts on Legal Evolution (I recommend this post on designing knowledge work).

Welcome to Evolving KM, a podcast series where we discuss how Knowledge Management is progressing and the impact that’s having on KM professionals.

We discuss how to “do less law” to quote Ron Friedmann, including what is driving legal product development, buy-in, planning for sustainment and support and the skill sets that will be needed for these projects. In their article and our podcast, Jason and Amy note their article touches on key issues at a high level. They invite you to continue the conversation through ILTA communities and programming!

I’ve always been known as the “What About?” person. Through my days as IT Director of a law firm, managing the law department of a global life insurance company, working with many IT Leaders across the legal industry in my work at ILTA, and now as legal strategist at an IT services and consulting firm (Olenick), I’ve been the one asking “Why?” and “Why Not?” Being inquisitive has helped me fill in context and lead successful, creative problem-solving projects. I’ve honed my provocative questioning skills over time, and now I share ideas on how to ask the right questions, at the right time, of the right people, and in doing so, help lead your legal organization into a successful future.

In this day and age, compensation alone, is no longer enough to attract and retain top talent. I’ve noticed this first hand in the eDiscovery market. I speak to ten plus candidates in a given day and I always ask the question, “What is most important to you in a new role?” Ten years ago, that answer was usually in the world of money, or benefits, but today, about 80% of individuals I speak to are answering that question with something related to culture. To be clear, this does not mean that organizations are able to pay under market, it simply means that they must build an offering beyond compensation in order to remain competitive and win top talent. The companies in the eDiscovery space that are most successful in attracting top talent are offering innovative cultures as their weapon against compensation warfare.
