Litera has been a global leader in legal technology for 25+ years, helping legal teams work more efficiently accurately, and competitively. As a leader in document workflow collaboration, and data management solutions, we empower legal teams with simplified technology for creating and managing all their documents, deals, cases, and data.

Professionals spend roughly 9% of their time at work switching between applications that help them deliver work. That might be an acceptable cost of doing business in other industries, but in legal, that means 9% less billable work.    
  
We’re here to tell you that consolidating some applications – especially document drafting ones – can result in better productivity and less frustration for legal professionals!   
  
Join us for a webinar on April 18th, at 10 AM AEST to talk about the benefits of consolidating your drafting applications into a solution like Litera Desktop. You will hear from our customers, Melissa Speidel, Business Transformation Leader from K&L Gates and John Graves, Training Specialist from Winstead PC along with Litera experts, Matt Miller, VP of Drafting Products and Ian Lee, Director of Product Marketing to discuss:   
-The challenges of using and managing disparate drafting point solutions   
-The journey of consolidating these solutions and how our customers chose Litera Desktop   
-The benefits and results of using Litera Desktop

Hear It From Your Peers: The Benefits of Consolidating Your Drafting Solutions

The Foundation platform centralizes your firm’s data and provides you with quick and easy access to complete profiles of your clients, matters, and lawyers. This enables you to win more business and empowers your lawyers to exceed client expectations. And now, you can also leverage Foundation in your firm’s document drafting workflow. 
 
Introducing our newest integration of Foundation and our document assembly and content library platform, Litera Create! 
 
Litera Create is a document assembly and content library platform for Microsoft Word, designed to empower legal professionals to create quick and accurate first drafts through leveraging firm-approved templates and reusing the right version of clauses and content. 
 
The integration makes creating documents a breeze by bringing Foundation datasets into Litera Create, and automatically populating documents with client and matter data. This reduces the likelihood of mistakenly entering the wrong client or matter data into a document or even making small typos.  
 
To help you better understand the Foundation and Litera Create integration, join us for a webinar with Litera experts, Peter Busse, Product Manager for Drafting, Max Polinski, Product Manager for Foundation, and Sherry Kappel, Litera Evangelist. During this webinar, you will gain insights into: 
 
- Use cases of the integration 
- The ins and outs of using Foundation and Litera Create  
- Quick demo to see the integration in action

How Integrating Technologies Enables Seamless Workflows in Law Firms

As the battle for talent continues in 2022, law firms should be asking themselves what they can do to retain lawyers and the investments they should make to prevent attrition. Law firms need to invest in technology solutions that help lawyers manage their business plans, measure performance, and assist lawyers with collaborative engagement. Taking a proactive and integrated approach to talent management appears obvious, but many firms struggle to do it correctly.
Join Adrian Pylypec, Jim Cochran, Ray Oldfield and Erin Douglass in our upcoming webinar as they discuss how firms can proactively address the tremendous skills gap that permeates law firms and create a path to firm success and growth.

Retaining Talent: Investments law firms need to consider

It goes without saying that the time you spend creating content and crafting the perfect email goes to waste if it is blocked by your audience’s email provider, or goes directly into their spam folder.
So it’s vital to understand the foundations of email deliverability, and how its impacted by engagement so that you can take simple steps to maximize both.
Join us to learn:
- What DKIM and DMARC are, and why they’re the first step to ensuring people receive your emails
- The easy way to keep your data and contact lists clean to maintain high deliverability
- How to use simple dynamic lists and dynamic content to maximize engagement.

How to improve your email deliverability and engagement

Whether you began practicing law 5 or 25 years ago, it is clear that technology is transforming the way work is accomplished in the legal industry. More and more firms are benefiting from teams of innovation and knowledge management experts and the guidance of internal CIOs and CTOs who drive technology adoption, and future-proofing the firm’s processes. So, what does that mean when it comes to managing mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions within your firm?
When it comes to working with clients on time-sensitive M&A deals, comprehensive, innovative technology solutions supported by AI-powered document review, collaborative checklists, digital signature platforms, built-in comparison, and automated closing set generation can significantly ameliorate many of the challenges lawyers face.
Watch this free on-demand webinar where our team, alongside a knowledge attorney from our customer, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP, discuss:
- How technology can directly impact and improve specific stages of M&A transactions;
- The need for a comprehensive solution for M&A practice groups large and small; and
- The hidden value of AI-assisted due diligence review.
Technology offers a way to make transactions run more smoothly, efficiently, and with less legal risk—so lawyers can focus on the deal, not on how they are managing it.

Tech in M&A Transactions: Better Informed and Better Managed at Every Stage

To get at the root of what truly makes a “modern lawyer," Above the Law and Litera recently surveyed more than 500 lawyers in a wide range of roles to uncover current views on technology, mobile devices, artificial intelligence, and more.

The resulting data, which is explored in detail in Litera’s “Modern Lawyer” report, produced a number of interesting results – including some that might surprise you.

Watch this webinar on-demand, in which we take a deep dive into the findings.

Hosted by Bob Ambrogi, the panel will explore what the data reveals about the makings of a truly “modern lawyer,” including:
- Current attitudes toward technology
- The concrete tasks technology is transforming
- Mobile device integration with practice management systems
- How AI is (and isn’t) a part of it all

What Makes A ‘Modern Lawyer’? The Data Might Surprise You

Legal professionals know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) saves time, removes drudgery, and streamlines legal workflows—but that’s not all. As AI becomes ubiquitous in the industry, law firms are discovering unexpected benefits from the use of these technologies. For example, the creation of structured data can provide additional value to law firms and their clients, and help to reduce lawyer attrition.

AI and other technologies in the legal industry have already revolutionized the way law firms operate, from talent acquisition and retention to improving matter efficiency. As we look to the future, the use of technology—and AI specifically—will continue to impact what it means to do legal work.

Watch this recent webcast recording to hear from leaders of innovation in the legal industry about the full spectrum of value AI can provide for your firm. You will learn:

- How AI is being used today in top law firms for transactional work;
- The pain points AI solves and the benefits for law firms and their clients beyond its intended function; and
- How AI can help improve lawyer retention and create new opportunities in the industry.

Litera Create Part 2 - Streamline and Modernize Automated Document Design

Optimism in the M&A market may have faded as we find ourselves in Q1 2023, but 2022 was still a better year than anticipated as dealmakers rode out the second half of the year. Even with market headwinds following the 2021 surge in dealmaking, is it possible deal volume could exceed expectations in 2023?

In this free webinar, our panel of experts from Honigman, Burns & Levinson, Pryor Cashman, Eversana, PitchBook, and Litera share their opinions and discuss:
- The trends likely to spur or dampen deal making activity;
- Valuation multiples, pandemic-era adjustments, and interest rate and inflationary pressures; and

We also share the results of our latest report on the state of M&A activity. Powered by PitchBook data, Litera’s 2023 Global M&A Report hopes to shed light on the M&A market as we head into the new year. Many of the charts and figures point to a resilient marketplace, but one whose annual totals were front-weighted by an optimistic start to 2022.
