Legal workspace: The modern CLM alternative
2025-04-30 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Legal teams are under pressure to do more with less, and many see technology as the solution—with many planning to invest in a Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM). But relying solely on a point solution that’s only solving one aspect of legal work isn’t enough, as legal work extends far beyond contracts.
To become true strategic partners, legal teams need a better alternative that gives total visibility over all legal work—not just contracts—to manage workloads more effectively and achieve higher ROI.

How to save time, get better data and improve service delivery with legal intake
2025-06-05 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
In-house legal teams face constant challenges – including overflowing inboxes, scattered legal requests, and disparate workflows across departments and systems. This fragmented approach wastes valuable time for the legal team, and it also increases friction between legal and the business.
Luckily you can go from chaos to control by improving your legal intake process – and save time, get better data to manage legal operations, and enhance the relationship between legal and the business in the process.

The Hidden Cost of Legal Friction
2025-06-11 12:30 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Corporate legal leaders strive to accelerate business outcomes through operational excellence and exceptional service delivery. Yet new research reveals that inefficient, fragmented workflows and historic underinvestment in legal technology and processes are creating legal friction—a hidden burden that reduces productivity, inflates costs, and quietly erodes business performance.
In today’s rapidly shifting economic and political landscape, the role of in-house legal teams has never been more pivotal. When optimized, legal can become a powerful business enabler—driving revenue, reducing risk, and strengthening competitive advantage. But new findings from the International Data Corporation (IDC), sponsored by LawVu, show that legal friction is holding many legal departments back from fulfilling that potential.
Watch the webinar as we unpack the latest data on legal friction and share strategies for how in-house teams can overcome it.

Smart tech choices for scaling legal service
2025-07-15 11:00 - 11:45 (America/Los_Angeles)
Smart tech choices for scaling legal service: attack your biggest inefficiencies and invest where it counts.
Is your legal team stretched thin, buried in admin, and struggling to keep pace with growing business demands? You’re not alone.
New IDC research reveals that only 37% of in-house legal teams feel they have the resources they need — and that growing demand and inefficient, manual workflows are a major contributor to the pressure.
In this 45-minute session, we’ll cut through the noise of a crowded tech market and focus on what really matters: how to eliminate your most common inefficiencies and invest in tools that deliver both quick wins and long-term scalability.
Hear from legal ops expert Zack Hutto, Consulting Lead at Epiq, who has guided legal departments of all sizes through operational transformation. He’ll share practical guidance for evaluating legal tech, transforming the way you work, and building a tech stack that unleashes your potential.
You’ll also get a boots-on-the-ground perspective from an in-house lawyer supporting a fast-growing business, who will share real-world workflow fixes that helped her small legal team save time, reduce friction, and scale effectively.
You’ll walk away with:

A breakdown of the workflows costing your team the most time and bandwidth
Workflow fixes that deliver fast relief (with real-world examples from in-house experts)
A pragmatic overview of the tools that belong in a modern in-house legal tech stack
Expert tips for evaluating legal tech that scales — and how to ensure long-term ROI

Whether you’re just starting your legal tech journey or looking to expand without burnout, this session will help you make smarter decisions — and move your team from reactive to strategic.

Smarter drafting in Word: A practical case study
2025-09-25 08:00 - 17:00 (Pacific/Auckland)
In-house legal teams often struggle to access and apply the wealth of knowledge their organizations have built over the years. Fallback clauses, risk positions, and policy considerations are often buried in repositories, making them difficult to surface in day-to-day drafting. Even with a legal workspace, deploying this knowledge seamlessly into Word can be a challenge—slowing down contract review and increasing the risk of inconsistencies.
Senne Mennes (COO, ClauseBase), Patrick Kelley (Director of Channel Partnerships, LawVu), and Ali Meredith (Director of Product Partnerships, LawVu) will demonstrate best practices for leveraging a legal workspace and Word add-in to streamline drafting, accelerate review, and improve contract consistency.
You’ll see firsthand how LawVu’s AI-powered workspace integrates with ClauseBase’s drafting toolbox to put precedents, clauses, and playbooks directly at your fingertips in Word.
