• Evaluate and implement emerging technologies, staying current on advancements in AI, automation, and legal technology – and proactively identifying opportunities for innovation and efficiency.
• Enable and support end users through documentation, training, technical support, and troubleshooting to ensure adoption and smooth operation of all legal tech systems.
