James Taylor helps top legal services firm Hogan Lovells accelerate innovation
Hogan Lovells became a top 10 global legal services provider through an unprecedented combination of two firms with international credentials, U.S.-based firm Hogan & Hartson and European-based firm Lovells. Modern-day Hogan Lovells carries on the tradition of excellence established by their founders and further builds on their legacy.
The legal services industry, and the global clients they serve, are going through technological disruption which brings both risks and opportunities. Hogan Lovells prides itself on anticipating change, adapting quickly and solving difficult challenges for their clients.
Hogan Lovells invited James Taylor to give a keynote speech and workshop as part of the global meeting of partners from their intellectual property practice. The event was held in Berlin, Germany and brought
together partners and lawyers from the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe, specialising in copyright, patents, trademarks and brands, and intellectual property & technology transactions.
The first part of the morning consisted of James Taylor giving an inspiring keynote on business creativity, innovation and artificial intelligence and how they will change the legal services industry and business more generally. As this was the first day of the conference James also included an ice breaker activity.
After a short coffee break James gave his ‘Unlock Your Creative Potential’ workshop and facilitated a session where attendees learned and then applied creative thinking techniques to a number of areas and processes where the firm was looking to improve.
The morning generated a number of new ideas around improving efficiency, reducing costs and improving collaboration between the firms global offices. The event was such a success that James Taylor was invited to speak at another Hogan Lovells a few months later.
