Many in-house legal teams use SharePoint to store documents and information, but it can quickly become a dumping ground, with complicated folder structures, duplicate documents and information stored in different places.
What we will cover:
- The pros and cons of traditional folder structures.
- How SharePoint combines folders with more structured ways of organising information.
- How to organise legal information so it is easier to find and manage.
- Common ways legal teams use SharePoint and where they can go wrong.
- How SharePoint fits with Teams, OneDrive and the wider Microsoft 365 environment.
Who should attend
The session will be particularly useful for in-house lawyers and legal operations professionals who use SharePoint but want to understand how it can be used more effectively to support the day-to-day work of a legal team.
