Acceleration in the adoption of innovative legal service delivery Legal Year in Review

In this article – titled “Acceleration in the adoption of innovative legal service delivery” – we note that the pandemic  has provided a platform for conversations between lawyers and clients about innovative legal technologies, tools, processes and staffing models and has contributed to accelerating the pace of their adoption. In our article, we discuss increased focus on Alternative Legal Service Providers (ALSPs), captive ALSPs (those that function within law firms) in particular and the corresponding move by in-house legal departments to embrace them. 
This article is authored by Michael Fekete, Partner, Technology and National Innovation Leader, Simon Wormwell, Chief Knowledge and Innovation Officer, Gillian Scott, Partner, Innovative Products, Natalie Munroe, Head, Osler Works Transactional and Jennifer Thompson, Head, Osler Works Disputes.
