2025 Agenda

Small to mid-sized in-house legal teams often face the challenge of balancing limited resources with increasing demands for efficiency and innovation. While niche legal technologies can offer specialised solutions, they can also come with hefty price tags and contribute to change fatigue as teams juggle multiple tools and often wind up developing workarounds that negate some of the purported benefits. This presentation will highlight how Microsoft 365, a surprisingly
underutilized powerhouse for legal teams, can streamline processes, improve automation and manage matters effectively. Using a recent case study, attendees
will deep-dive into how an in-house legal team successfully modernised its contract approvals process using Microsoft 365.5 - 6.
