NASHVILLE, TN--(Marketwired - September 09, 2015) - Quovant, a next generation legal spend and matter management solution provider, has announced a multi-city roadshow series for general counsel and in-house counsel. The CLE roadshows, held in conjunction with General Counsel News, Duff & Phelps and Hyperion Global Partners, will examine how innovations in technology and transparency have acted as agents of change, shifting the balance of power between law firms and corporate legal departments.
Corporate legal is in an unprecedented period of change. Whether it is new options for procuring legal services or next-generation technology, general counsel are reaping the benefits of and continuing to drive this change within the industry. Enabled by intelligent systems and the entrance of Law Department Operations (LDO) teams, corporate legal is both causing and enjoying shifts in how law firms offer and deliver services.
Legal is the latest industry to be disrupted. The questions remain: Where is this shake up taking us? How can law departments respond? How is this shift in the balance of power between firms and legal departments effecting the provision of legal services?
The session format intentionally avoids "presentations" and focuses on a meaningful and frank roundtable discussion about the future of the legal profession. The roundtable will be led by industry expert and publisher of the Annual Law Department Operations Survey Brad Blickstein, and Jeff Hodge, who has more than 25 years of experience with corporate legal departments and corporate legal software providers. Special guest faculty will join us in each city and are listed below.
