November 09, 2021Beyond Zoom and Microsoft Teams: Have Virtual Hearings Altered the Fabric of Dispute Resolution?
The legal community responded to the impact of the pandemic and lockdown by innovating rapidly and adopting virtual hearings. The UK commercial courts were ahead of the curve and delayed only four cases during the national lockdown period.

International arbitration matters continued to be heard around the world. The real innovation lies beyond just the use of video conferencing tools like Zoom and Microsoft.

In this podcast, learn how virtual hearings have continued to evolve, improve, and gain traction throughout the world in 2021.

Questions Marlene will ask the speakers:
What are the most significant changes to the hearing and trial process caused by online access? Good and bad. (Begins at 00:46 seconds)
There are certainly technical challenges with any online experience. What are some that are particular to online hearings and trials? (Begins at 4:54)
How about ethical issues? Approvals to host, rules of engagement? What do you have to consider and how do you ensure everyone is behaving appropriately? (Begins at 8:42)
Does the non-legal prep work differ at all? If you are presenting at trial, It might be more like theatre in terms of delivery. But online is more like television. You have to worry about things like your background and lighting. I know people who take classes to learn about where to look at the camera and how to move. Things perhaps a broadcast journalist or social media influencer would learn (Begins at 12:56)
What is one funny experience you have had in an online hearing or trial? Any cat people? (Begins at 17:29)

October 26, 2021 Future of Work Practices: How to Maximize Online Collaboration and Virtual Working
The pandemic has brought about an opportunity for individuals to reflect on their lives, and most, in fact 77% of the legal professionals want to retain elements of this new virtual, remote working - to varying degrees. And critically, 22% said they are likely to leave if their employers didn’t accommodate the new way they want to work.

In this podcast, we will briefly discuss differing perspectives on remote working, the benefits and drawbacks to individuals, firms and clients to remote working, the impact on collaboration and differences by subgroup, working patterns, before and during COVID-19 and desired post-pandemic and which roles should remote working be available to, plus with or without restrictions.

We will also understand where you fit in and how you can maximize your own and your teams’ productivity as we progress into a new world of work with mixtures of both distributed and in person teams.

October 21, 2021 Common Security Worst Practices
This topic was one of ILTACON 2021's most popular conference sessions, and as security is a concern to many the original panel has reunited for a follow-up podcast.

Security is complex and when left without robust resources of money, knowledge, and people we sometimes revert to the ostrich head in the sand approach. Even though we try to do our best, we sometimes fall into bad habits.

This podcast session is the opposite of sharing best practices . . . we will call out the absolute worst mistakes. Without mentioning any entity or name, we will discuss the criticality of certain practices. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to walk away with a private GOLD STAR or perhaps the feeling of "oh no, I do that and better fix that" without having to admit it to your peers.
