The mechanics of an in-house legal team: Legal Ops and Legal Tech de-mystified

SHIFT presents our Legal Ops and Legal Tech Series 2022: where we will de-mystify these well-used terms, and showcase to New Zealand inhouse teams a range of different processes and tools that can be used by legal teams, and including of course structuring an in house team – the core component!

Event 5: Equity, Inclusion and Diversity from your external providers (Wednesday 6 July) -1 CPD hour

We are thrilled to have Fleur Knowsley (Director and General Counsel, Google Fiber) presenting on how to encourage Equity, Inclusion and Diversity on your outside law firm panel, set expectations, leverage RFPs, track firm performance and hold firms accountable.
