1:00 - 2:00 PM | TALENT: The people puzzle - how are law firms, legal departments and sector service providers attracting, developing and retaining talent in an era of change

The legal market is witnessing an unprecedented shift when it comes to talent. Lawyers are changing firms, moving in-house, to alternative legal service providers and in some cases moving out of the profession entirely. This is having a significant impact on the shape of the sector and promises to continue to do so for years to come.

On this panel, we’ll review the following:

What are the key drivers and trends shaping the battle for talent in the legal sector?
What are law firms, legal departments and sector service providers doing to attract, develop and retain talent in a dynamic marketplace?
Portfolio careers. What types of new career paths are available to lawyers versus traditional ones?
Passion, purpose and generational change. A new generation of lawyers is taking the reins in the legal sector. Purpose driven, portfolio careers must be matched with authentic organizational values (flexibility, diversity and inclusion, collaboration). What does this mean for the legal profession moving forward?

New, potentially transformative technologies are being embraced by the sector (as well as others). The marriage of people, process and technology to deliver legal services in new and efficient ways is being re-imagined. Organizations are tackling the people puzzle with unique and flexible approaches. And emerging risks are being anticipated and addressed in real time, agile and collaborative ways.

The purpose of this year’s forum is to shine a light on the dynamics at play in Canada’s legal sector when it comes to innovation at the intersection of business and law.

Technology has always been a key pillar of legal innovation, however recent advances – particularly in generative AI and automation – has placed it at the forefront of the innovation conversation in the sector.

Digital risk is at the top of many corporate agendas. The explosion of use of collaborative technologies and the attendant data trails left by them, evolving privacy rules, the increasing risk and severity of data breaches are all highlighting the critical importance of having a robust digital risk strategy in place.

For legal departments and their advisors – increased digital risk equals increased legal risk – especially as they relate to litigation and accelerating regulatory scrutiny.

On this panel, our speakers will look at how they are assessing and addressing present and emerging digital risks.

Topics covered will include:

3.30 – 4.20pm: Solving for the people puzzle: attracting, retaining and developing talent in an evolving legal ecosystem

The legal sector continues to witness an unprecedented shift when it comes to talent. Lawyers are changing firms, moving in-house, to alternative legal service providers and in some cases moving out of the profession entirely. While recent economic shifts may have slowed intra-sectoral movement to some extent, structural and generational shifts are promising that solving the people puzzle presents the key challenge and opportunity for the sector in both the near and mid-term.

On this panel, we’ll review the following:

What are the key drivers and trends at play in the legal sector vis-a-vis talent?

APERÇU

Le deuxième Legal Innovation Forum (LIF) aura lieu à Montréal le 27 mars en après-midi.

L’édition de cette année est centrée sur le thème fédérateur: Définir de nouvelles voies à suivre dans un écosystème juridique en pleine évolution.

Une myriade de changements importants se produisent actuellement dans l’écosystème juridique. L’IA générative et les autres technologies de pointe sont en plein essor. Une nouvelle génération de leaders est en train de prendre le relais. Les modèles d’affaires de longue date sont remis en question. Le niveau de complexité et de risque ne cesse de croître, non seulement dans le secteur juridique, mais aussi au niveau de l’économie en général, engendrant de nouveaux défis à relever.

Dans le but de relever les opportunités et d’atténuer les risques émergents, on adopte des approches révolutionnaires axées sur le leadership, l’innovation et la collaboration entre les spécialistes du secteur (cabinets d’avocats, services juridiques et partenaires tiers).

Le congrès de cette année a pour but de mettre en lumière les dynamiques en jeu dans l’écosystème juridique lorsque l’innovation jaillit au carrefour des affaires et du droit. Il présentera également des exemples de leadership et de collaboration contribuant à créer de la valeur et à stimuler un changement durable.

OBJECTIF DU CONGRÈS

Passer en revue les principales dynamiques et tendances sectorielles en jeu pour les organisations de la région et leur implication pour l’écosystème juridique qui les sous-tend.
Fournir aux praticiens une plateforme qui fait le point sur les innovations émergentes et sur leurs applications concrètes.
Examiner les pratiques exemplaires des cabinets d’avocats, des services juridiques et de leurs tiers partenaires quant à la mise à contribution des personnes, des processus et de la technologie pour obtenir des résultats.
Mettre en place un réseau d’innovateurs juridiques de premier plan permettant la mutualisation des connaissances et des expériences afin de stimuler le progrès de leur écosystème juridique et au sein des organisations auxquelles ils apportent leur soutien.

Themes

Le leadership au carrefour des affaires et du droit : façons dont les dirigeants contribuent à l’innovation économique au Québec

IA générative : façons dont l’IA contribue à la transformation de l’innovation juridique et de l’écosystème des affaires en général

L’équation humaine : attirer, retenir et perfectionner les talents, et s’y retrouver dans le changement générationnel.

Dans un environnement organisationnel complexe, un leadership éclairé est nécessaire pour aider les organisations à gérer le risque et la croissance sans perdre l’équilibre.

Dans le cadre de cette discussion, des chefs de file du domaine juridique travaillant au sein d’organisations québécoises de renom aborderont l’évolution de leurs fonctions avec les défis et les possibilités connexes, les directives qu’ils donnent à leurs équipes et le rôle qu’ils jouent en tant qu’acteurs du changement.

La discussion portera sur les aspects suivants, entre autres :

Comment l’innovation économique évolue-t-elle au Québec et quel rôle les chefs de file du secteur juridique joueront-ils dans son avenir?
Quels sont les facteurs clés et les principales tendances dont les chefs de file du domaine juridique et des autres secteurs doivent tenir compte pour s’y retrouver dans un environnement organisationnel complexe?
Quelles sont les mesures que les services juridiques et les organisations qu’ils servent prennent pour transformer leurs stratégies?

L’équation humaine - attirer, retenir et perfectionner les talents, et s’y retrouver dans les changements générationnels. (DE 14 H 35 À 15 H 25)

Les entreprises du secteur juridique et les cabinets d’avocats font face à une foule de changements importants en 2024. Dans ce contexte, le recrutement et le maintien en poste de jeunes talents présentent de nombreux défis, mais aussi d’importantes possibilités. Les entreprises doivent apprendre à adopter les valeurs et les points de vue des nouvelles générations – la qualité de leur culture organisationnelle et leurs résultats en dépendent.

Dans le cadre de cette séance, on abordera l’incidence de l’émergence des nouvelles générations et des obstacles à l’embauche connexes sur le rôle des chefs de file du domaine juridique. On présentera également des idées de pratiques exemplaires visant à faire face à ces transformations. Enfin, on se penchera sur le concept du « réseau de carrière » qui supplante de plus en plus le cheminement de carrière traditionnel dans le secteur juridique.

Surmonter les obstacles au recrutement et au maintien en poste des talents : comprendre les préférences de travail uniques de chaque génération
Le facteur DÉI : quels aspects les chefs de file du domaine juridique doivent-ils prendre en compte pour former des équipes constituées de personnes de tous horizons ayant différents points de vue?
Laisser une nouvelle génération de leaders prendre le relais en remettant en question des modèles d’affaires de longue date
Le cheminement de carrière n’est plus une échelle, mais bien un réseau : quels sont les nouveaux parcours professionnels intéressants qui s’ouvrent aux spécialistes du droit?

Stratégie et opérations : façons dont les opérations juridiques catalysent le changement et créent de la valeur ajoutée dans l’écosystème juridique (DE 15 H 45 À 16 H 35)

Tous les services juridiques cherchent à offrir un apport de qualité à moindre coût. Débordés de travail lié aux activités opérationnelles qui laisse peu de temps pour les initiatives stratégiques, les services juridiques des entreprises font de plus en plus souvent appel à des spécialistes des opérations juridiques pour favoriser le changement.

Ces spécialistes élaborent des solutions novatrices visant à accroître radicalement l’efficacité des activités des services juridiques d’entreprise. À l’échelle du secteur juridique, cette tendance entraîne la mise sur pied de démarches structurées permettant aux fournisseurs externes (cabinets d’avocats, prestataires de services juridiques approuvés, fournisseurs de technologie) d’offrir des services à valeur ajoutée supérieure.

Au cours de cette séance, des chefs des services juridiques vous feront part de conseils pratiques pour intégrer les opérations juridiques aux activités de votre équipe et les utiliser efficacement de manière à créer de la valeur pour votre entreprise.

Pratiques exemplaires permettant d’intégrer de façon harmonieuse les opérations juridiques aux activités de votre service juridique d’entreprise afin d’accroître sa valeur ajoutée
Effets financiers : mettre à profit les opérations juridiques pour instaurer des systèmes de facturation électronique, des prévisions et de nouveaux arrangements en matière d’honoraires de manière à réduire les coûts.

Maîtriser le risque numérique : la gestion d'enjeux numériques émergents dans un contexte opérationnel complexe (DE 16 H 40 À 17 H 30)

Dans le sillage de l’entrée en scène de technologies révolutionnaires émergent de nouveaux risques numériques auxquels les entreprises doivent désormais faire face, dont la cybercriminalité, le vol de propriété intellectuelle, les rançongiciels, l’hameçonnage et les atteintes à la réputation sur les médias sociaux. La popularité de l’IA générative ajoute un élément supplémentaire de difficulté à un contexte où la conformité à des règlements complexes et changeants relatifs à la protection des renseignements personnels est indispensable à toute activité commerciale.

Maintenant que de plus en plus d’opérations se font par voie numérique, les cabinets d’avocats et les services juridiques d’entreprise doivent faire appel aux spécialistes des TI et des RH afin de créer des stratégies efficaces qui permettront de protéger l’entreprise tout en favorisant sa croissance.

Durant cette discussion, les aspects suivants seront abordés :

Mise en place d’un plan de cybersécurité efficace à l’échelle de l’entreprise dans le but d’offrir une protection contre des cybermenaces toujours plus dangereuses et d’assurer une prompte réaction en cas d’incident
S’y retrouver dans le contexte éthique et réglementaire lié aux nouvelles technologies numériques
Saisir les occasions d’innovation et de croissance en tirant parti des nouvelles technologies de l’ère numérique tout en protégeant l’entreprise contre les risques
