At the start of an economic downturn and the onset of enterprise
restructurings, there is an increasing emphasis on systems and fee-earner
efficiency. The Legal Week Intelligence Technology Report 2009 looks at user
perceptions in the top UK firms. What are their impressions of their firms’
technology offerings in terms of speed and efficiency? How well are they
supported? How strong are their firm’s green credentials? What are the most and
least useful technology tools and how innovative are the teams behind them? All
of these questions will be addressed as part of the chaired discussion.
Rakesh Kumar, VP Research at Gartner, will share his views on the current
issues and technology developments in green technologies and draw on his
knowledge of the main drivers for change in enterprises across a range of
related sectors. ATTENDANCE AT THIS EVENT IS BY INVITATION ONLY. Contact Paul

In 2009 Legal Week held the inaugural Future of Legal Services Forum with an
unprecedented and senior selection of speakers who are involved with the
changing landscape of legal services provision. The 2010 event will offer a
one-day programme which will focus on the recent consultation conducted by the
Legal Services Board relating to regulation of the profession and introduction
of the Legal Services Act. The programme will not only consider the impact of
Alternative Business Structures, it will also take a broader look at how legal
services are changing. Delegates will be given an invaluable insight into what
measures they should be taking right now in order to ensure that their firms are
fully equipped both to meet the challenges presented by the Legal Services Act
and broader changes in the profession to compete more effectively.
