On Nov. 7, 2022, at the NetDocuments Inspire 2022 conference for its customers and partners, LawNext host Bob Ambrogi moderated a fireside chat with four legal innovation leaders on the trends driving their organizations and legal teams and how they are addressing current challenges to set up their organizations for the next decade of success. NetDocuments and the four panelists have graciously consented to sharing the recording of that chat with the listeners of LawNext. The four panelists were: John Hunter, Chief Information Officer, Council of Europe. Mike Lucas, Chief Information Officer, Wilson Sonsini. Maurice Tunney, Director of Technology and Innovation, Keystone Law. Craig Umbaugh, Denver Office Managing Partner, Hogan Lovells, and also Global Head of the firm's Sports, Media, and Entertainment Group The theme of the conference focused on patterns of work, patterns of knowledge, and patterns of success, and so the fireside chat was organized around those themes. The panelists discuss major challenges they have addressed with regard to the evolving nature of the workplace, how they capture their organizations' internal knowledge and use it strategically, and how, in a time of such volatility, their organizations are preparing for continued success in the future.
