COMPLIMENTARY WEBINAR

Overview

Watch On Demand

Hosted by Thomson Reuters

Summary

According to the 2022 Legal Department Operations (LDO) Index, corporate law departments continue to face cost control challenges, increasing workloads, and staffing concerns – along with newer challenges involving technology adoption and environmental, social & governance (ESG) priorities.

Join Thomson Reuters for a webinar in which legal leaders examine the findings of the 2022 LDO Index and discuss how best-in-class law departments are transforming in the face of these changes. Join us to learn:

How are departments controlling costs by increasing internal headcount?
How have top departments managed increasing matter volumes with flat or declining budgets?
What kinds of Legal Tech are worth implementing quickly, and which should come later?
Who is actually making ESG programs work?
And more.

The webinar will be broadcast January 19, 2023 at 10AM CT. Sign up now and view live or on-demand any time afterward.
