Greetings From Legal Tech West

Do you know what I enjoy about conferences? It’s the interaction that occurs. It’s being able to speak face-to-face with other people with a passion for the business. It’s sitting in on sessions presented by thought leaders in the industry. 

I make it routine to attend all the trade conferences to further my understanding of the space and what trends to be aware of. Like last year, The Cowen Group hosted a Pre Legal Tech dinner Wednesday night. I’d like to extend a thank you to all that attended our soiree. The discussion on how to manage, train and retain top talent was very thought provoking.

Today I’ll be attending the practice management track and look forward to hearing George Rudoy, Joy Murao, Jim McKenna and Mary Panneta discuss the hot trends and new directions that practice technology is taking.

With the rate at which the lit support community is expanding, it’s exciting to be sitting in the front row. The increased demand for trained professionals, informed talent and the lack of a homogenous curriculum opens the space for a lot of change and opportunity. It definitely keeps me on the edge of my seat.

If you happen to be here in L.A. for Legal Tech West, please say hello or drop me a line. We can find some time to get a coffee and exchange ideas. If not, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the conference.
