Keesal, Young & Logan’s Director of Information and Chair of the 12th Annual Law Firm CIO/CTO Forum at LegalTech NY, Justin Hectus, was recently interviewed by Legaltech News regarding topics to be covered at the upcoming forum.

“During the much-anticipated program, law firm technology specialists will be able to connect with thought leaders from law firms, as well as senior legal operations professionals. Panel discussions will address such crucial areas as aligning law firm information management strategy with client goals — and client expectations — that they will be provided responsive, economical and secure legal services.  That, in turn, leads to business generation for the firm, as well as a way it can differentiate itself from the competition.

This year, the chair is Justin Hectus, who is director of information at Keesal, Young & Logan. Very familiar to CIO Forum regular attendees, Hectus has addressed previous forums. In a recent interview, Hectus told Legaltech News that this year, there will be many high-level presentations. The take-aways will be important for senior technology leaders in law firms.”
