•    In this role, you will support the delivery, adoption and management of legal technology tools and solutions used by practice groups across the Firm. You will help ensure tools are effectively supported, users are engaged and trained, and innovation initiatives are embedded into day-to-day legal work.

We collaborate with teams across the firm to identify pain points, scope opportunities for improvement and support the adoption of tools and solutions that improve efficiency, consistency and client service, as well help the Firm realise measurable value from innovation investments.
•    This includes managing and evaluating the legal tech tools used by lawyers in their everyday work, supporting trials and onboarding of new technology, tracking adoption and ROI, coordinating with internal stakeholders and vendors, and helping configure or develop solutions where off-the-shelf tools do not fully meet business needs.
