Legalweek 2025 made one thing clear: law firms are under pressure like never before. AI is here. Data is exploding. Compliance is tightening. And costs? They’re ballooning.

The Struggles Are Real:

  • AI Without Guardrails: ChatGPT citations, biased tools, ethical risks—without governance, AI can do more harm than good
  • Too Much Data, Not Enough Control: Firms are hoarding data out of fear, but that creates risk—security, cost, and compliance
  • Litigation Costs Keep Climbing: Experts, document review, tech sprawl—it all adds up fast without a smarter strategy
  • Global Compliance is a Maze: EU AI Act. CCPA. PIPL. The list keeps growing—and legal teams are falling behind.

What Law Firms Need Now:

  • AI strategies with ethics baked in
  • Defensible data deletion plans
  • Cross-border compliance clarity
  • Cost control through smarter workflows

At Seratos Consulting, we help legal teams turn complexity into competitive advantage. We bring strategy, structure, and real-world execution—so firms don’t just adopt tech, they own the transformation.

With the legal tech landscape constantly shifting, one truth remains constant: change is inevitable.

As law firms navigate the complexities of digital transformation, geo-political shifts, and evolving client expectations, the ability to adapt quickly has become both a competitive advantage and a necessity.

But how do successful firms manage this constant state of flux, whilst maintaining operational excellence?

The Fear Factor in Transformation

Change can be anxiety-inducing, particularly in an industry built on precedent and tradition. This anxiety primarily stems from the unknown. When legal professionals lack clarity about how changes will affect their workflows, productivity, and client service capabilities, resistance naturally follows.

What’s the antidote to this resistance you ask? Education…

Education: The Foundation of Successful Change Management

For over 35 years, we at Intellek, have observed a clear pattern among law firms that successfully navigate technological and operational shifts: they prioritize comprehensive training programs that prepare their people for change before it happens. Taking a proactive approach to change, not reactive.

The most successful change initiatives in legal environments share a common first step: ensuring everyone understands not just what is changing, but why it matters and how it will benefit them.

Simply put, you cannot lead change if you don’t know where you’re going.

The Measurable Impact of Learning Technology in Legal

The data tells a compelling story about how learning management systems are transforming legal education:

  • Firms implementing comprehensive learning platforms see an average 264% increase in learning material usage, indicating stronger engagement with training resources
  • Well-trained staff contribute significantly to firm-efficiency and profitability
  • Organizations prioritizing education experience substantial financial benefits, with $29,400 average savings in employee turnover costs

Building a Culture of Continuous Learning

Leading law firms are shifting away from the traditional view of training of classroom based activities, for three-hours during onboarding, toward establishing ecosystems of continuous learning. This approach recognizes that adaptation isn’t a destination but a journey.

Utilizing Intellek helps firms to address several critical challenges:

  1. New Hire Onboarding: Establishing consistent knowledge foundations for all staff
  2. Technology Capability: Ensuring proficiency within essential legal tech tools
  3. Continued Education: Supporting ongoing professional development
  4. Performance Measurement: Providing analytics to identify knowledge gaps
  5. Digital Adoption: Accelerating the implementation of new technologies

The Integrated Approach to Legal Learning

Intellek’s learning solutions go beyond conventional training methods by integrating multiple components:

  • Intellek LMS: Centralizing all learning activities with in-depth tracking & reporting
  • Intellek Learn: Providing access to over 1,400 courses used by law firms
  • Intellek Create: Enabling the development of tech-specific training
  • Intellek deliver: Delivering guidance within workflows and applications

This comprehensive approach creates a learning environment specifically designed to make change management more accessible and effective.

Education Within Workflow

Perhaps the most significant evolution in legal training is the shift toward delivering education within existing workflows. Rather than requiring professionals to step away from their work to learn, Intellek integrate learning moments directly into daily tasks.

This contextual learning approach dramatically reduces disruption while increasing retention and application of new knowledge.

Looking Forward

As the legal sector continues to evolve, the firms that thrive will be those that embrace a proactive approach to change, supported by robust training frameworks that prepare their people for what’s next.

The question is no longer whether your firm will face significant change, but rather: How prepared will your people be when it arrives?

What strategies has your firm implemented to support continuous learning and change management? I’d love to hear your experiences in the comments below.

Daryl is Head of Business Development & Innovation at Intellek, helping legal organizations navigate technological change through comprehensive learning solutions. Intellek has been supporting the legal sector for 35 years, globally.

Discover how Belt’s AI-native Work Management software restores visibility and control for managing hybrid work without sacrificing flexibility.

In two preceding articles [1], set out how hybrid and dispersed working have eroded the capacity of managers to manage and explained why firms need better remedies than continually checking-in or traditional project management software. In this concluding piece, I explain how a new Work Management application from Belt, can give firms back the visibility and control that are the keys to effective people management and simultaneously allow lawyers to keep the flexibility of WFH.

They say you can’t manage what you can’t measure. In a hybrid world, we can add: “You can’t manage what you can’t see.” Hybrid, remote, and dispersed working have become established and yet we’ve also established that they create a core business problem. Managers are detached from their teams, they can no longer see what’s going on. The result is that managers are driven to overmanage with too many meetings, too much communication and too much reliance on work management systems that were never designed to fill this particular role.

In the preceding article [2], I introduced an alternative way forward, which harnesses the power of AI-native software to give managers clear, real-time insights into the activities of remote workers. The idea is that by restoring visibility and control, those who want to work remotely still can, while at the same time their bosses can see and understand the work they’re doing and manage people and teams appropriately and effectively once more.

Overcoming The Problems With Hybrid Working And Getting The Best Of Both Worlds

In my previous article [1], I noted that hybrid working is here to stay, even though it severely disrupts traditional in-person people management and firms haven’t yet found a satisfactory way to overcome this. In this follow-up piece, I outline the thinking behind a new ‘best of both worlds’ solution that keeps the benefits of hybrid while helping firms negate the disadvantages.  

In the first article in this series I proposed that the trouble with hybrid working is that leadership and supervision can’t be done effectively when people work remotely.  What I call ‘two-minute management’ is missing in action, so managers struggle to manage. This can lead to serious long-term consequences for the firm.

These can include chronic performance and commitment issues and flagging productivity, or its opposite, which is burnout. Without traditional levels of people visibility, managers are managing blind. Hence, firm leaders are trying to cajole partners and associates back into the office full time, while they’re simultaneously wary of upsetting lawyers who’re productive at home, and of being so heavy-handed with calls back to the office that talent leaves.

CHICAGO (March 26, 2025) – Reveal, the global provider of dual eDiscovery and investigation platforms powered by a single, unified AI engine, today announced the completion of its European platform expansion with the introduction of Onna to the region. Following the successful launch of Logikcull across European markets in September 2024, European customers now have full access to Reveal’s complete ecosystem: Logikcull for self-service eDiscovery, Onna for knowledge management, and Reveal’s powerful enterprise AI platform. This milestone product expansion is powered by the company’s strategic global infrastructure, including thriving Centers of Excellence in Pristina, Kosovo and Hyderabad, India.

 

The strategic expansion brings Reveal’s complete AI-powered legal technology suite to the European market, giving law firms, corporations, and government agencies unprecedented access to tools that automate and transform legal processes across the continent.

 

Complete Platform Ecosystem Now Available Across Europe

 

Reveal has officially completed its European platform expansion, bringing its full suite of legal technology solutions to the region. Building on the September 2024 launch of Logikcull throughout Europe, Reveal has now introduced Onna to European markets, ensuring customers have access to all three of the company’s powerful platforms:

 

  • Logikcull provides self-service eDiscovery capabilities with its intuitive interface and automated workflows, making advanced legal technology accessible to organizations of all sizes

 

  • Onna, the newest addition to Reveal’s European offering, delivers powerful knowledge management and information governance capabilities that centralize and make searchable disparate data sources

 

  • Reveal’s enterprise platform offers a comprehensive suite of solutions for complex legal matters, including information governance, early case assessment, legal hold, data collection, processing, document review, and trial presentation

 

“The completion of our European platform expansion marks a significant milestone in our mission to transform the legal industry across the globe,” said Wendell Jisa, founder & CEO of Reveal. “Building on our successful launch of Logikcull throughout Europe last September, the addition of Onna to the European market delivers on our commitment to give our European customers unprecedented choice in how to solve their diverse legal challenges, whether they need Logikcull’s self-service simplicity, Onna’s knowledge management capabilities, or our enterprise Reveal platform’s advanced AI power.”

 

The European platform expansion addresses critical market needs, helping organizations better manage legal challenges such as Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and Freedom of Information (FOI) requests while ensuring compliance with regional GDPR and data privacy regulations. Legal teams across Europe now have cost-effective options for enhancing efficiency and maintaining control over increasingly complex eDiscovery workflows.

 

Centers of Excellence Driving Remarkable Success

 

Helping drive Reveal’s successful European platform expansion are strategically located Centers of Excellence in Kosovo and India. Reveal’s Kosovo center in Pristina leverages the region’s tech ecosystem with its young, skilled workforce (65% under age 35), while the Hyderabad, India hub serves as another vital center for AI innovation. Together, these locations provide 24/7 global coverage while developing solutions tailored to European requirements.

 

“Our global Centers of Excellence are essential to delivering market-leading solutions that address the specific needs of European customers,” said Jisa. “These innovation hubs maintain our position at the forefront of legal AI development worldwide.”

 

Reveal plans to grow its Kosovo office to more than 400 additional employees by 2026, with roles spanning advanced software development, AI research, customer success initiatives, marketing, and sales enablement.

 

Reveal has revolutionized the legal industry by developing a scalable and adaptable ecosystem supported by two industry-leading platforms, each underpinned by one of the most powerful AI engines in legal technology. Reveal is fundamentally transforming how legal professionals, from Fortune 500 companies to government agencies, leverage advanced AI technology to drive the eDiscovery process.

Next Generation Co-authoring capability eliminates friction and inefficiencies while letting customers stay in total control, driving maximum productivity 

iManage, the company dedicated to Making Knowledge Work™, today announced that the Microsoft Co-authoring capability within the iManage knowledge Work platform is now generally available, enhancing collaboration for customers of all sizes, providing an easy way for knowledge workers to work on Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents simultaneously across teams.

Professionals can effortlessly collaborate on documents in real-time or at their own pace, with no need to wait for colleagues to finish before making forward progress. The ability to access and edit content on the iManage platform from anywhere, and co-author documents in real time, reduces friction around collaboration and boosts efficiency, security, and productivity.

“Next Generation co-authoring will serve as a powerful productivity driver for the iManage knowledge work platform,” said Neil Araujo, CEO, iManage. “Benefiting from our deep partnership with Microsoft allows us to give customers a new way to achieve seamless, secure, and efficient document collaboration, without disrupting their workflows or compromising security or compliance. We are pleased to see so many of our customers taking advantage of iManage and Microsoft Co-authoring to optimize their overall productivity and their ability to deliver the best tools to their workforce to collaborate safely and efficiently.”

Additional key benefits of Microsoft Co-authoring include the ability to maintain full control and transparency while co-authoring, creating a worry-free user experience. Document revisions made in real time appear in the iManage timeline view, allowing document owners to instantly see who edited the file and when. Additionally, users can roll back to earlier revisions and catch in-between changes, correct errors, and refine content before locking in a new version. Most importantly, co-authoring is built natively into the iManage platform, so users can collaborate on content while retaining the industry-leading security and governance protections they expect from iManage.

“The Microsoft Co-authoring capability within iManage streamlines collaboration and provides a single source of truth,” said Rob Howard, VP of Product Management, Microsoft 365. “Whether teams work in real-time or asynchronously, Co-authoring offers multiple ways to identify and remove roadblocks on the way to a final version. Professionals can ask questions, request clarifications, and leave comments directly in the document, ensuring important context is in one place within the work product while reducing versioning challenges.”

Previously offered as part of the iManage Early Access Program, Microsoft Co-authoring was used by more than 90 iManage customers, gathering valuable feedback that has helped refine and optimize the experience beginning on July 15, 2024. Now, with its general availability, even more organizations can leverage this powerful capability to enhance collaboration and productivity.
