I spoke with Peter James, a Senior Partner with @DOCS, and David Leong, the Chief Technology Officer with @GROUP about how modern law firms navigate document management challenges, what post-COVID print volumes and workflows reveal about document production, and the webinar – Closing the Gaps by Modernizing Legal Document Management – on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.
I spoke with Mark Noel, the Managing Director of Professional Services for Catalyst, a provider of litigation support software and services.We discussed the webinar Catalyst hosted with Rees Morrison of Altman Weil, Inc. – Centralize, Simplify, Save – How to Leverage Technology to Decrease Outside Legal Spending – focused on the results of the consulting firm’s 2016 Chief Legal Officer Survey, how the report addresses the approach to metrics and cost reduction by corporate counsel, why outside counsel should provide that information to their clients, and ways that artificial intelligence and machine learning are helping to respond to the concerns of chief legal officers, among other topics.
I spoke with Brad Blickstein, the founder of the Blickstein Group, a consulting firm that helps businesses serve corporate law departments and their law firms. He was the co-founder of Corporate Legal Times (now known as Inside Counsel) and is currently the publisher of the Annual Law Department Operations Survey.
We discussed the genesis of the Blickstein Group and the Law Department Operations Survey (produced in partnership with Consilio, QuisLex, Exterro. Onit, Legal Decoder, and Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions), the issues the survey addresses, how the role of legal operations professionals has changed, and the surprising results of his research, among other topics.
