We would like to congratulate Terri Mottershead, Executive Director for the Centre for Legal Innovation (CLI) at The College of Law Australia, who has been selected as a finalist in the Australian AI Awards 2024 in the "AI Female Leader of the Year - Enterprise" category by Momentum Media.
In Australia, the legal profession is evolving rapidly, driven by technological advancements and complex demands from clients and employers. Legal operations professionals, not necessarily with legal backgrounds, are pivotal in integrating new technologies, project management, and process improvements to meet modern market needs.
As cyber security becomes the domain of organised crime every Australian individual and business has become an unwilling target. Law firms are rarely early adopters of tech and yet they now face complex cyber security threats. Before you embrace your inner doomsday prepper, we caught up with Lawcover’s Legal Risk Manager, Glenda Carry, to find out how law firms are being targeted by cyber security threats, and what steps they can take to mitigate risk.
Cybersecurity, major data breaches and privacy reform are all on the table as we size up 2023. For those who manage law firms, tightening security is top of the agenda. Here at the College of Law we have assessed the top legal practice management trends for 2023.
As the times change so do the threats facing the legal profession. That’s why it’s important to identify and meet these challenges head on. We asked our friends at LEAP to list the top five threats to law firm profitability and success, along with their solutions.
