Realms Uncharted: Legal Service Recalibration in the Experience Economy
For law firms and corporate legal departments in the digital age, embracing a versatile and sustainable client journey is a core lever for success. From intake to invoicing, client service is increasingly viewed across a constellation of experiences—both in-person and virtual—influenced by technology, 24/7 connectivity, and interpellative social forces. This opening session pivots upon a simple yet nuanced premise: in an increasingly competitive and tenuous market, what does exemplary client service truly look like? How confident are industry leaders in the profession’s embrace of the modern experience economy? Is the modern legal services delivery model wholly sufficient or in need of a proverbial tune-up? Our distinguished panel of industry leaders shall discuss.

Monica Goyal, Director of Legal Innovation/Lawyer, Caravel

Approaching the Verve: Opportunity and Reward in Web 3.0 Technologies
By some estimates, the arrival of Web 3.0 (“Web3”) is expected to generate 1.76 trillion US dollars in GDP growth over the next decade—a not insignificant figure to the legal profession. As many in the industry are aware, legal client demand for guidance on a host of Web3 technologies—cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and DAOs—has yielded a flurry of new specialized practice areas and outpouring of lucrative work in both mature and emerging markets. Blockchain, famously described as the most significant new technology since the internet, has clearly become an influential fixture in the global public square. And with blockchain-based Web 3.0 now gathering steam, savvy legal service providers are moving quickly to shore up bench strength and enter the untamed wilds of the metaverse. This presentation offers an important and comprehensive look at opportunity and reward around this newest technological innovation. Where and how can legal service providers lay claim to such fertile ground?
