Warrick discusses innovation in legal practices and how to separate hype from real progress in implementing innovation and process transformation.
Warrick discusses Coleman Greig’s incremental innovation strategy focused on incremental gains rather than a step jump.
With the legal sector, Warrick discusses how to get easy wins in the legal tech journey and the importance of legal tech delivering value for clients and also ease of use.
