Catriona Wolfenden talks us through her journey from reluctant solicitor to Product & Innovation Director at Weightmans.
Discussing the firm's (much to Ben's fascination) 34-strong Product & Innovation team, Catriona covers:
- Striking the right balance between virtual work and physically getting together with some sharpies and Post-Its.
- Maintaining culture when split across different offices and hybrid working arrangements
- The predicament that there are always way too many product & innovation projects than you can ever service
- The sometimes 'alien' function of sales within a law firm
- Adapting to wearing a software vendor hat
- The soft skills to look out for in fresh out of university legal engineers
- Shifting from billable hours to the 'it's ok to fail' mentality of innovation
And many more topics. Whether you're considering legal career, a law grad, an experienced lawyer looking to cross over to the world of innovation, a supplier or simply a legaltech fanatic, there's something for everyone here, folks!
