Roadshow topic: Delivering the Cloud Infrastructure “Easy Button”
Moving core infrastructure systems to the cloud has always had obstacles. While systems like Exchange and document management systems have Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) options that include several layers of management responsibilities for the law firm, the remaining servers had no clear path. Even after security and compliance issues have been overcome, Infrastructure teams need to port virtual machines into Azure and remediate any issues that appeared during the process. Cloud deployments took months and that was on top of learning a new platform.
Now Microsoft and VMware have eliminated the time and education commitments needed to move to the cloud. Move all your servers in days instead of months or years. With Azure VMware Solution (AVS), law firms simply connect to the Azure fabric and vMotion their systems to VMware host instances, selecting the option that best fits your needs.
Keep using the VMware tools you already know to manage workloads on Azure without disrupting network, security, or data protection policies. Run native VMware environments at any scale with unified management of Azure and VMware resources, Azure networking services, and security tools. Join us along with Microsoft and VMware as we discuss the details of this new offering.

Kraft Kennedy is proud to join ALA (Association of Legal Administrators) for their 2019 NYC Symposium! Be sure to catch our law firm cybersecurity expert David Owusu in “Big Apple Bites – Cybersecurity | Firms Responding in Real time | Showdown Edition.”
Direct from the trenches of 3rd Avenue and 40th, a first-person account of how a firm responded to a cyber attack, minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour. We then zoom out to survey threats afflicting the legal industry at large. Our lens pivots to the most common threats, namely ransomware and other malicious breaches, which can have devastating and wide-reaching affects, often an existential threat to a firm. These attacks often start with something astonishingly simple, like a phishing email. We dissect the anatomy of a phishing email, how it is connected to ransomware, and why we – the humans – are unfortunately the weakest link in any cybersecurity program. Takeaways include practical suggestions to keep your firm safe in the current cyber threatscape.

Our project manager expert Pat Mansuy will also be participating in “Perfecting the Pitch to the Managing Partner: ALANYC meets Shark Tank”
Come learn how to sharpen your next pitch while honing your presentation skills. Learn how to be persuasive in a short amount of time. Three projects are pitched to a panel of C-Suiters in the legal vertical that are responsible for selecting projects for firms and their clients. The panel of five will give feedback on the predicate and presentation of the pitches. Pitch topics are related to technology, collaboration and innovation by firms seeking to develop a competitive advantage in our ever-changing legal marketplace. Come join us and vote for the best pitch while perfecting your craft.

ILTA Roadshow: How to Manage the Technology Churn with Leasing to Align Finance and Operations
2019-09-25 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Kraft Kennedy, 630 Third Avenue, New York, NY, 10017, United States
Law firms are in a heated market: mergers, acquisitions, lateral moves, technology adoption, obsolescence, forced upgrades, cloud migrations and more are accelerating at an unprecedented pace. Firms must create efficiencies that align the business side of the house, especially when it comes to IT, finance and operations. That is why we see ILTA’s 2018 Technology Survey technology updates as one of the most pressing concerns for firms.
Choosing the right financial strategy that aligns operations and IT can ensure not only a successful technology implementation but optimal use of technology over its entire lifecycle at your firm whether it is software, equipment, laptops, desktops or servers while making sure the firm is not overpaying for its competitive and operational IT needs.
Join Bill Pitcairn and Barry Steel from CoreTech Leasing, to learn financing and leasing best practice solutions that allow IT to optimize these selections by:

Providing flexibility to replace/upgrade equipment such as desktops and laptops at the pace required for today’s business needs, while avoiding tying up capital in a depreciating asset
Finance 100% of software needs, including data conversion, implementation and training
Accelerate decision cycles and streamline operations.
Investment in top-of-line hardware
Offering the highest level of security to all the hardware offered by them, ensuring no data loss while replacing or changing an older piece of equipment, and properly disposing of obsolete hardware.
Prep for cloud migration
Simplify maintenance, built-in end of life lease options.
Inflation protection, preserve cash flow for other strategic needs and spreads out partner contributions

CLE Session: How I Met Your Hacker: Cybersecurity for Your Firm and Clients
It is the modern attorney’s duty to protect client information. The FBI has warned that cyber-attacks against the legal industry are constant. Indeed, most law firms have been under some level of cybersecurity threat. Attorneys should know and understand best practices, including easy-to-implement measures, for protecting their firms and clients against cybercriminals who exploit privileged data for financial gain. This session will answer:

What can you do to increase your security levels?
What do you need to know about the threats facing law firms?
What resources are available for further education?

Tuesday, 9/24 | 4:05pm – 5:05pm | KK panelist: Tracy Kraft
NAMWOLF Marketing Best Practices Committee Session: Stranger Things: Protecting Your Firm’s Marketing Efforts in the Upside Down
Successful marketing efforts can sometimes put law firms at a larger cyber risk. The firm not only becomes a bigger target through its heightened brand awareness, but often works with outside marketing companies that may have weak cybersecurity programs, leaving the firm vulnerable to malware, ransomware, and other phishing and hacking attacks by digital-age Demogorgons and shadow monsters. This panel will cover best practices for law firm marketing in today’s increasingly scary cyber landscape, including how to lock the gate on digital demons by controlling risk when making information publicly available, safeguarding social media accounts, protecting against account impersonation, implementing best practices for working with marketing vendors, and cybersecurity client communications and PR.

ALANYC Diversity and Inclusion Presentation: Gender Speak
2019-07-16 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Kraft Kennedy, 630 Third Avenue, New York, NY, 10017, United States
Kraft Kennedy is proud to host a session for the Association of Legal Administrators New York City (ALANYC) chapter’s initiative, Diversity and Inclusion.
Gender Speak
Examining Gender Bias and Male/Female Communication in the Workplace

In the aftermath of the #metoo movement, it is more important than ever to explore communication issues between the genders in the workplace.
Join us for this timely discussion as we delve into how to solve gender gap issues and achieve parity at work by focusing on the questions and solutions discussed in the best-selling book: That’s What She Said: What Men Need to Know (And Women Need to Tell Them) About Working Together, by Joanne Lipman.
What can the Enron scandal teach us about the way men and women communicate professionally? How does brain circuitry help explain men’s fear of women’s emotions at work? Why did Kimberly Clark blindly have an all-male team of executives in charge of their Kotex tampon line? In That’s What She Said, veteran media executive Joanne Lipman raises these intriguing questions and more to find workable solutions that individual managers, organizations, and policy makers can employ to make work more equitable and rewarding for all professionals.
This is an interactive session and will feature relevant studies and stories from the book and offer a roadmap on how to empower women, engage men, and harness the working power of both genders to strengthen the overall health and success of your organization.

Presenter:
Nadia Wagner, Regional Office Administrator, Beveridge & Diamond, P.C.
