We are coming to the end of the 2nd Wave of Legal Tech. Yes, I know. You’ve only just started embracing the first wave of legal tech! But it is happening fast and you need to catch up. We will be discussing what is and will be happening in front office technology, consolidation of software, ‘behavior’ automation and so much. Join us!
Life is all about perspective. Expectations, I have found, do more harm then good. If our expectations are too high we will always be disappointed because we don’t allow for unplanned opportunities. If our expectations are too low, we may never strive for greater things. What perspective do you have?
In today’s omnichannel world, you might think inbound phone calls are a thing of the past. We’ve all heard about how millennials and members of Generation Z hate picking up their phones. Or how the ongoing robocall epidemic has damaged trust in business telecommunications overall.
