Legal Innovation & Technology Workshops
Empower Your Legal Team to Work Smarter In a Fast Moving Technology Environment
Our Legal Innovation & Technology Workshops give legal teams the skills, tools, and confidence to embrace modern ways of working so innovation becomes part of the culture.
Most legal teams know that technology can make them faster and more effective, but the gap between knowing and doing is wide.
Why Lawyers Need Innovation & Technology Coaching
Without structured learning, most tools go underused, innovation stalls, and lawyers revert to manual ways of working. Very few lawyers receive formal training on AI, Data & Analytics, Lean Six Sigma, Customer Experience, Change Management, or Technology Project Management. These skills used to be secondary to the practice of law, but in an era when technology is both a competitive differentiator and a business risk, these skills become essential for lawyers to remain relevant.
Common Symptoms:
Resistance or hesitance around change and innovation
Expensive software sits idle due to low confidence or unclear use cases.
Lawyers spend hours on tasks that could be automated.
Training is one-size-fits-all and quickly forgotten.
The culture rewards perfection, not experimentation. I.e., the balance of risk mitigation and innovation doesn’t fit your business objectives.
Key Competencies for your Lawyers
-
Definition: The ability to understand, use, and critically assess legal technology tools, including CLM, eBilling, document automation, and GenAI systems.
Why It Matters: You don’t need every lawyer to be a technologist, but every lawyer should be able to operate in a tech-augmented legal environment.
What Good Looks Like:
Familiar with key platforms
Can adapt to new systems quickly and support less tech-savvy peers
Understands the limitations and governance needs of GenAI
-
Definition: Recognising where GenAI enhances judgment, automates routine tasks, and introduces new ethical, operational, or data risks.
Why It Matters: Lawyers who understand its risks and opportunities can harness automation responsibly, using it to elevate insight and efficiency, not undermine trust or quality.
What Good Looks Like:
Understands how AI tools (e.g. generative, predictive, or workflow automation) apply to legal tasks.
Evaluates data quality, bias, confidentiality, and ethical implications before adoption.
Uses AI to enhance clarity, consistency, and speed, without compromising judgment or integrity.
Advocates for transparent and explainable AI use.
-
Definition: The ability to understand how legal performance data (e.g., matter volumes, contract clauses, outside counsel spending) can be utilised to drive decisions and improve outcomes.
Why It Matters: Legal teams that operate without data can’t measure risk, demonstrate value, or justify resources. Data-literate lawyers turn insight into action.
What Good Looks Like:
Understands basic metrics and dashboards (e.g., cycle time, risk scorecards)
Can tag and structure work to support analytics
Uses data to prioritise or escalate matters
-
Definition: The mindset and behaviour of adapting quickly to new tools, ways of working, and client expectations.
Why It Matters: Legal work is no longer static. Teams need lawyers who embrace change, especially during tech rollouts, restructures, or service redesigns.
What Good Looks Like:
Learns new systems without resistance
Advocates for improvement, even if uncomfortable
Helps others navigate change with empathy and clarity
-
Definition: The ability to break down legal workflows into repeatable, improvable steps and identify inefficiencies or opportunities for automation.
Why It Matters: Legal teams increasingly act as service organisations. Lawyers with process thinking don’t just “do the work”, they improve how it gets done.
What Good Looks Like:
Comfortable mapping current-state and future-state workflows
Uses tools to visualise processes
Advocates for consistency and standardisation, where appropriate
-
Definition: The ability to deliver legal advice in a clear, actionable, and business-aligned format, primarily through digital channels.
Why It Matters: As more legal advice is delivered via Slack, email, dashboards, or AI interfaces, clarity and tone are critical.
What Good Looks Like:
Writes in plain English, tailored to the audience
Aligns legal advice to business context and goals
Delivers “next steps” not just “legal risks”
Why Training Matters
Technology and innovation are survival skills. Legal teams that invest in capability building outperform those that rely solely on giving their lawyers “hands-on” experience. Key benefits include:
Increase adoption of existing tools.
Improved compliance reduces data/privacy risks.
Enthusiasm and confidence in new and existing technologies.
Strengthen collaboration between legal, IT, and the business.
Retain talent by developing modern, future-focused skills.
