When I started the Canadian Legal Innovation Forum in 2018, the core premise was to map Canada’s legal innovation landscape and its role in driving results: for lawyers, the businesses they work alongside and society as a whole.

Building a data strategy enables legal to better leverage existing resources, integrate data analytics, and enable a deeper understanding of the data sources to assess and valuate the scope while mitigating costs and risks at the early stages of a matter.

As a follow up to its first Canadian Legal Innovation Forum Webinar series, ADB Insights is producing a second series of online webinars focused on the business of law starting in October, 2020.

Choosing the right approach is critical when it comes to accomplishing a successful data migration. At this year's Relativity Fest, an entire session was dedicated to navigating the complexities and challenges that often come with migrating data — especially when working with large, active cases that have tight timelines.

We're excited to share that we will be serving as a Gold Sponsor at this year's Relativity Fest. While this year's annual conference has been brought online, the experience of the jam-packed, three-day event will be as engaging and interactive as you'd expect from previous years. Best of all, it's free to attend!

Data analytic solutions allow law firms and legal departments to make better overall business decisions. Whether they are used for contract analysis, to help better manage internal and external risks, enhance compliance processes, improve resource allocation or gain a strategic advantage in the competitive legal marketplace, the limits of using data are endless.

During last week's Canadian Legal Innovation Forum webinar on Using Data to Make Better Decisions, four panelists, including our own Jessica Lockett, shared how their organizations are actively utilizing these solutions to help save on time, costs and improve accuracy.

Ricoh has been proud to serve as an exclusive sponsor for Canadian Legal Innovation Forum's Webinar Series 2020. Over the past two months, the series' webinars have covered a variety of subjects focused on innovation in the legal technology and information management sectors in Canada. Today we're sharing the details of our third and final virtual event. 

We've launched a new series called 5 Questions with... where we interview people who are working in the legal technology and information management industry to learn more about their personal contributions, biggest challenges and ideas for the future.
