Good or bad, data drives the key decision-making law firms must get right to thrive at the best of times – but do they have a true strategy for unlocking latent potential and harnessing it for continuous improvement? Our latest Briefing webcast sees several law firm leaders in this sphere of management outline how they have carved out their paths and pinpointed top priorities for change.

First, following his presentation at Briefing Frontiers – Coalescence – in December 2022, we welcome back Chris Pannell, head of business data at Allen & Overy. He discusses the firm’s journey of building business-wide awareness about just how much more visible data can do for smarter management.

Hear why – and how – Chris opted for an ‘evolutionary’ approach to take people on the journey of recognising how a trusted data platform has the potential to transform their roles and results.

Following this, Harshana (Harsh) Amarasuriya, global head of financial planning and analysis at Clyde & Co, discusses his own priorities for data-focused change and the opportunities that lie ahead. Harsh speaks to Briefing head of content Richard Brent, as well as Paul Suffield at our partner OneStream, in a conversation that also includes questions and perspectives from the audience.
