In this episode of the Expert Perspectives podcast, sponsored by Planet Depos and hosted on Law.com, we’ll hear highlights from the March 26th presentation titled, Recession and Crisis Preparation: How New Technologies Can Help Law Firms Streamline Operations.
Is a recession on the horizon? While the probability of a near recession can never be 100% predicted, it is smart to prepare. In fact, any global crisis, such as the coronavirus pandemic, underscores the need to devise a strategy before it happens, rather than in the midst of a crisis. Is your firm adequately prepared? The speakers in this presentation -- Chad Peterman, Partner at Paul Hastings; Robert Burger, Chief Operating Officer at Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox; as well as Billy DiMonte, Founder & Managing Partner at Planet Depos -- address how law firms can streamline operations and integrate new technologies, such as in the area of depositions, to brace for a global crisis.
