[ Webinar ] Best Practices for Selling the Investment in Legal Technology Internally

Legal departments are turning to legal technology to streamline processes and drive efficiencies, allowing teams to shift their focus away from administrative tasks and back to high-priority legal work.

- Extract the most value and determine ROI from a potential solution
- Effectively speak to qualitative benefits of selected legal technology
- Influence decision-makers and partner with other business functions to get buy-in
- Build a strong business case for legal technology
