Collaboration in Action - TechNExt Fringe

This event explores how working across teams, disciplines and levels of experience drives more creative thinking and more effective outcomes. Through a series of sessions, legal, technical and operational colleagues will share how they are tackling complexity together by combining their strengths.

From the development of tools that reveal organisational knowledge, to new approaches to delivering work through joined up expertise, each session demonstrates the practical impact of collaboration in action. The focus is on what works, what is changing, and how shared insight leads to clearer decisions and better outcomes for clients and colleagues.

Info: This session will explore how innovative legal technology empowers teams to turn complex client challenges into clear, actionable capabilities - driving smarter decision‑making, more efficient collaboration, and new pathways to deliver exceptional client outcomes.

Info: This session explores how truly cross‑functional teams - uniting legal, operational, and technology expertise - are reshaping matter delivery to cut through complexity and drive clearer, faster, and more valuable outcomes for our clients.

Info: Good ideas don't just come from the top — and neither do the best solutions. This session explores how Rob Kirk, John Dixon and the virtual Digital Experience team united the Service Desk, out-of-hours support, and End User Compute around a shared vision. By embedding Nexthink into day-to-day support, the team turned real-time data into a common language for collaboration — shifting from reactive fixes to proactive problem-solving, and restoring colleague productivity faster than ever before.

Info: Legal Technology Consulting will showcase how they are using a multi‑jurisdictional survey chatbot to present organisational knowledge in a more accessible, interactive format. The session will demonstrate how this approach enables faster access to information across jurisdictions, supports day‑to‑day work and reduces time spent searching through documents.

Info: Go behind the scenes of our Copilot Hackathon with Microsoft. This session covers how the event came together, the ideas that emerged, and what we actually achieved — as well as a chance to share your own thoughts on where AI tools like Copilot could make a real difference at NRF. Come ready to be inspired and to get involved.

Info: Great teams aren't built from a single mould. This session explores how NRF's early careers programmes — from the Business Legal Operations Graduate scheme to IT Infrastructure apprenticeships — are bringing fresh perspectives and diverse skills into the organisation. Hear from current participants about what they've learned, how they're contributing, and why investing in varied entry pathways doesn't just open doors for individuals — it makes the whole team stronger. When people grow together, better solutions follow.
