AbOut tHe eveNt


In the words of Bob Dylan the times they are a changing and never more than now do CIOs have to be more than just a CIO. Their role has diversified and with what is now coined The New Normal, the CIO has to move with the times or its either adapt or perish! With IT Infrastructure moving to the cloud, consumerisation making everyone an expert and the next generation viewing technology as normal how will the role of the CIO / IT Manager in legal change or is it completely doomed? It is not only the role of the CIO that is evolving it is also that technology is racing at light speed. Standard issues like security, infrastructure and document management are constant items on the IT agenda yet new areas like BYOT, the Cloud, Collaboration, Big Data, Social Media and Apps have to now be included and considered, seriously. Every year Lawtechies retreat to the calming surrounds of the Qld hinterland to discuss and review, network and chat amongst peers and every year they return to their office re-energized and informed. These issues above will be high on the conference agenda which is again guided by our proficient Advisory Panel and tackled by our expert speakers. As Lawtech moves to its seventh year our priorities remain the same: quality conference programme delivered by brilliant speakers and exceptional networking opportunities, setting the event as a sturdy staple on the legal IT agenda.

IT Manager, BRIAN WARD & PARTNERS

As a first attendee I found the conference an excellent opportunity to meet with others in the industry to discuss ideas and issues that will strengthen my knowledge and therefore my ability for successful implementation of up to date and effective IT solutions

TIME SESSION & THEMES
16.15 17.30 Session Five Roundtables and Overview

OUTLINE ROUNDTABLES
1. NAVIGATING THE COMMUNICATIONS LABYRINTH
How to keep the technology conversation flowing. IT is under increasing pressure to explain to the c-suite, clients and end users its technology strategy and long term vision. Theres also pressure to communicate more broadly, with CIOs often tapped for interviews by the specialist technology or legal media. So how can you effectively get your message across to all these stakeholder groups?

Beverley Head |Communications consultant and freelance journalist


This table talk will be covering the following topics: The consumerisation of IT BYOD Security and governance

2. ENTERPRISE MOBILITY WHAT THIS MEANS TO LAW FIRMS.

David Leong | IT Director | ARNOLD BLOCH LEIBLER

3. BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE AND BIG DATA

Seems to be a lot of articles floating around about leveraging the immense volume of data that companies have access to, yet most are yet to realise the full potential. Join this table to discuss how best to manage your data.

Gavin Wingfield | eDiscovery Specialist | KING & WOOD MALLESONS

4. HARNESSING THE CLOUD


John Duckett | Consultant

Privacy, client confidentiality, professional privilege and data sovereignity - and everything else you wanted ot know about the cloud but were afraid to ask.

5. LEARNING TO LOVE DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

This roundtable will have two functions: to explore how and why lawyers need to come to terms with the full benefits of a modern IT platform and the role of the legal IT professional in optimising the delivery of legal services. Research confirms that where the skills, capabilities, needs and expectations of clients, IT personnel and lawyers are aligned and where the contribution to the service supply chain is better understood improved financial returns ensue. It is more than having the best technology platform and the best lawyers it is about creating a bridge between the two for their mutual benefit and that of the clients.

ADAPT OR PERISH - NEW APPS AND LAW FIRMS

Lawyers take a pragmatic approach to getting the job done. Lately this has given rise to lawyers choosing electronic devices over mounds of paper where possible. When you get repeated requests for having thousands of documents in a portable and easily accessible format you need to listen and find a solution. The iPad is an excellent tool for meeting these needs... as long as you have the right App for the job.This session looks at the complexities of developing your own in-house apps, including security and other aspects that need to be considered in the development process. It will showcase Corrs Briefcase app which allows their lawyers to securely access documents on iPads. Brian Borskjaer Legal Technology Solutions Director CORRS CHAMBERS WESTGARTH
