On LawNext: An Inside Look At Driving Innovation Within A Major Law Firm And A Major Legal Department

What are the nuances of driving innovation within a law firm or legal department? For an inside perspective on that question, we speak with Rachel Dooley, who at the time of this recording was chief innovation officer at the law firm Goodwin Procter and who is now at Kirkland & Ellis, and Ilona Logvinova, managing counsel and head of innovation for McKinsey Legal.

Dooley and Logvinova spoke together at the recent Knowledge Management & Innovation for Legal Conference in New York City, sharing their views and insights on innovation from their unique perspectives. Shortly after they spoke, they sat down live with LawNext host Bob Ambrogi to record this conversation about innovation in legal. 

You can catch a clip of us recording the interview starting about 29 seconds into this highlights video from the KM&I conference.

This is the third LawNext episode featuring conversations recorded at the conference. To listen to the prior two, check out:

• Two KM Keynotes – Andrea Alliston, KM Leader At Fasken, and Mark Smolik, GC at DHL, On Disruption and Innovation in Legal, in which we spoke with the conference’s two keynote speakers. 
• The Founders of Two Legal Tech Startups: Nicole Clark of Trellis and Kevin Walker and Bryan Davis of Centari, featuring interviews with two of the startups that attended the conference. 

The conference was organized by Patrick DiDomenico, president and founder of InspireKM Consulting, and Joshua Fireman, president and founder of the strategic consulting firm Fireman & Company, an Epiq Company.
