We are delighted to announce our support for the Australian Legal Industry as a Sapphire Sponsor at the 18th Managing Partners Forum. This event, hosted by Chilli IQ and sponsored by Thomson Reuters, will take place on 27-28 February 2025 on the Gold Coast, Queensland.

 

To best represent the interests and needs of the legal profession, some of the most prominent legal leaders and thinkers have been assembled to form the Advisory Panel, guiding the direction of the forum.

 

The theme, Embracing Change: Adapting to a Fast-Moving Legal Landscape, is highly relevant to the Legal industry as we continue to sight its expansion across the globe. Key drivers shaping the Legal landscape and to be addressed at the forum include more on the discovery of artificial intelligence and its future impact, the evolving future of work and talent, regulatory changes and concerns around data privacy, cybersecurity, and environmental sustainability. Embracing change is no longer a choice but a necessity – continues to be the key message.

 

As business transformation specialists within the Legal industry, we look forward to sharing our experiences with both delegates and keynote speakers. We also eagerly await reconnecting with our clients and meeting new people.

 As progressive firm’s probe the future to search for competitive advantages, rapid developments with technologies often makes this an obvious place to start. To capitalise on generating new business opportunities and to introduce operational efficiencies, a robust technology review will help identify outdated or poorly designed technologies operating within your business. A technology review should begin with understanding the current pain points and identifying what specific benefits are being sought. It should also determine what is available to overcome the pain points, along with the quick-win and longer-term goals to achieve the desired benefits. Once armed with these practical insights, a road map should be established and communicated to all stakeholders to create visibility of the future. The road map should explicitly reveal the missed opportunities and recommended solutions including the financial considerations and a return on investment plan. The road map should also highlight the technological improvements that will lead to greater competitiveness and be accompanied by a transition plan that will facilitate achieving adoption.
