“Outside counsel collaboration is an important area of cost savings for the business-oriented legal department,” said Afshin Behnia, Mitratech’s President and CEO. “The Virtual Workforce session will provide Interact 2008 attendees with strategies to develop solid partnerships with outside counsel for maximum return on investments.”
“Consolidating matter information in a common environment provides additional advantages to the power of TeamConnect. Accuracy and efficiency increase as the availability of complete information is more readily accessible, and methods of communication such as voice mail, e-mail and faxes are reduced.” said Dan Hamilton, Mosaic Consulting’s President and Managing Consultant. “This session will also explore ways to increase the accountability of outside counsel as they become integrated into the information capturing work flow.” Mosaic Consulting will also be available in the exhibit hall to provide additional information on outside counsel collaboration strategies and legal technology consulting services.
