International Innovation Week launches at Womble Bond Dickinson
Mar 15 2018
From March 19-23, transatlantic law firm Womble Bond Dickinson is holding it International Innovation Week. A number of events are taking place in the US and UK, looking at innovative technology that is transforming the legal industry and other sectors, how businesses challenge themselves to develop more efficient processes and new ways of engaging with clients to embed a culture of innovation.
There are opportunities for all staff from both sides of the Atlantic to listen, learn, debate and create, through a series of open invitation webinars, workshops, roundtable events, and discussions.
Events being run throughout the week include:
Nigel Emmerson, UK Head of Innovation at Womble Bond Dickinson comments: “We have learned a huge amount through collaboration with our US colleagues in the last 12 months but we know we need to keep exploring and embracing change together in order to remain competitive, relevant and progressive. Our Innovation Group works with our lawyers and clients to help identify potential innovation opportunities and coordinate initiatives and projects across the firm. Innovation Week provides a spotlight for these projects and this way of working that will be hugely beneficial to attorneys on both sides of the Atlantic.”
Liz Riley, Chair of Innovate Womble at Womble Bond Dickinson (US) notes: “We are excited to again partner with our UK colleagues for this vital and necessary exploration of how innovation is changing the very world around us, especially the legal one. We feel that it’s crucial for our attorneys and staff to have a keen understanding of what is on the legal horizon and how it will affect the practice of law. Keeping a weather eye on innovative new dynamics provides a clear path to solid legal footing in the future.”
