Modern Finance: The way forward for law firms

The last year has brought in jarring changes in the legal industry – from how and where work is done to changing client needs and the rapid adoption of new technologies. Amidst this change are both new challenges and opportunities for law firms:

• Renewed focus on profitability
• Shift in the operational model
• Growth by expanding reach and entering new markets
• Increased expectations from lawyers, staff, and clients around technology

Today, law firm CFOs are at the center of these opportunities as their role has evolved from operational to strategic. CFOs have to go beyond traditional financial functions to focus on how to position the firm for growth, protect against risk, and optimize processes as they strive to remain competitive. CFOs are looking to leverage technology to deliver intelligent business insights, drive real-time decisions, enable an agile workforce, and elevate business performance.

In the webinar, we navigated the emerging landscape of Modern Finance for law firm CFOs. The session will take you through Modern Finance initiatives that traverse across every area of finance, using technology to solve problems and deliver impact. We also introduce you to evergreen + empower, sa.global’s industry-specific solution built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 that supports Modern Finance with capabilities such as chatbots, automation, business intelligence, analytics, and a suite of productivity apps.
