04/08/22 • 58 min

Mark Parr joins the show to discuss data, insights, lawyers, and collaboration on a global scale.
He discusses how data may be maintained, reused, and analysed. He also emphasises why lawyers need to understand data and be able to reuse it for their clients' needs.
“The journey we are going on is one to understand data we have, where it is, how we use it, manipulate it, store it, make it available. But also, how we can draw the insight from that, how we can learn from it, how we can find market trends. [...] And how we can make that data useful for our clients."

And we know what happens to the industries that don’t sort of, you know, move on and digitise.”
