Rafte & Company President Dena Rafte participated as a panelist in a terrific session entitled, "Understanding the Lawyer-Client Relationship" during ILTA ’07, the annual conference of the International Legal Technology Association.

This was an important conversation and Dena, who established Rafte & Company 24 years ago, said she was honored to be selected to participate. She says that creating a client-focused firm is essential for law firm success as more firms implement strategic technologies into their business processes.

The ILTA session, “Understanding the Lawyer-Client Relationship,” delved into how today’s global business environment is creating immense pressures on the lawyer-client relationship. Panelists discussed how emerging practices such as RFPs, risk-sharing agreements and flat-fee pricing are changing the legal environment and will look at the increasing importance of technology in helping law firms succeed. The session also explored how technologists can shape their strategies to help their firms compete in today’s every expanding and evolving global legal marketplace.
