I took part in the very first Virtual LegalTech, ALM’s imaginative way of delivering webinars online in a series running through a day, giving delegates most of the benefits of attending a conference without the cost and burden off getting to it.

I have now been asked to moderate a session for the 16 June Virtual LegalTech. The subject is Advanced Technologies for Litigation Support Professionals which goes out from 11:15am to 12:15pm Eastern Time today, 16 June.

I had a free hand to choose the panelists. At the real LegalTech in New York in February, I met Bill Belt and Daryl Shetterly, partners in LeClairRyan’s discovery solutions practice, who subsequently came to visit us in Oxford on one of their trips to the UK. They are contributors to LeClairRyan’s  ediscovery blog posts, with thoughtful articles which are practical and bang on point.

They kindly accepted my invitation to join me on the webinar, and we have put together a set of slides which begins with the New York Times article Armies of Expensive Lawyers, Replaced by Cheaper Software of March, goes through the different types of technology LeClairRyan and other ediscovery firms use in practice, and ends with ideas for establishing an ediscovery practice.

Other speakers during the day include Ann-Marie Gibbs, National Director of Consulting at Daegis, Monica Bay, Editor-in-Chief of Law Technology News, US Magistrate Judge David Waxse and former US Magistrate Judge Ronald Hedges. The judicial panel is called Why Lawyers Cannot Afford to Ignore Technology which, I think, will nicely complement our session.
