LONDON, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Legal Operations Exchange is set to return to the Hilton Syon Park in London for its third edition this 4-5 December. Bringing together 60 Legal Operations Leaders and General Counsels for two days of learning, discussion and networking, attendees will discover new solutions to their unique challenges and gain insight on effectively leveraging data and technology for efficiency gains and positioning the legal team at the heart of the organisation.

Given the progress in data analytics and generative AI solutions, the call to modernise and innovate in-house legal departments has never been more pressing. As the stewards of this shift to a more efficient and future-facing legal department, legal operations teams must both understand the legal technology landscape while also mastering the softer skills needed to implement and manage change successfully.
The Legal Operations Exchange has been designed to address the complexities of improving in-house legal operations from all angles. Confirmed attendees at this year’s event include Legal Operations Directors, General Counsels and Heads of Legal from top-tier organisations such as The Access Group, L’Oreal and Arla. All participants have been selected to attend this invitation-only gathering based on their active requirements to innovate their legal department’s operations.  
A hallmark of the Legal Operations Exchange is its one-to-one business meetings which allow decision-makers who have pre-identified their specific challenges and investment areas to meet with relevant solution providers. With analysis by the Legal Operations Exchange revealing risk management, contract review and analytics, and document automation and generation as the top investment priorities of attendees so far, these bespoke, pre-scheduled meetings provide a dedicated platform for solution providers to demonstrate their capabilities to those actively seeking new solutions.
With nearly 10 hours of time dedicated to organic networking and pre-scheduled business meetings over the course of the two days, the event provides the opportunity for end users and solution providers alike to form new and lasting relationships. One previous attendee from Red Bull commented that: “The Legal Operations Exchange event was an excellent opportunity for networking. Its size was perfect – not too large, so you didn’t feel lost in the crowd, and not too small, so there was a diverse group of professionals to connect with. I found it incredibly easy to engage in meaningful conversations and build connections.”
The Legal Operations Exchange’s world-class, cross-industry speaker faculty is comprised of leading figures in the legal operations world, including Silke Engel, Director of Legal, Legal Operations and Technology at Coca Cola Europacific Partners, and Niklas Rahlmeyer, Head of New Business, Legal Operations and Services at E.ON.
For Legal Operations professionals, General Counsels and solution providers, the Legal Operations Exchange provides an unparalleled opportunity to form meaningful connections and share best practices for enhancing legal operations in today’s complex landscape.

New response system helps streamlining workflows, strengthening resilience and improving safety for more than 1 million people in Northeast England
LONDON, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service has announced that it is strengthening its emergency response capabilities through a cloud-hosted Control Room Solution (CRS) from Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI). This move will foster digitalisation, streamline workflows and offer the agency the ability to better scale operations in critical situations such as flooding and wildfires, which have increased in frequency in the U.K. in recent years.

“Our objective is to create one of the safest communities in the country,” said Phil Clark, Area Manager for mobilising and digital transformation at Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service. “We are amongst the fastest responding fire and rescue services in the U.K. for dwelling fires with an average response time of 5 minutes 58 seconds.”
“We will continue to invest in new technologies and plan to offer other fire and rescue services the opportunity to join our newly created control room solution,” said Area Manager Clark. “In doing so, we’ll be able to seamlessly exchange information during joint operations, increase scalability to accommodate varying demand levels, and foster greater cooperation and faster responses in critical situations. Our relationship with Motorola Solutions will enable us to realise and deliver our operational vision, which will ultimately help to save lives and put Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service at the forefront of Control Room technology in the U.K.”          
Every day, more than 1 million people rely on Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, who operate 17 community fire stations in Northeast England. Their responsibilities across the community include responding to primary and secondary fires, road traffic collisions, civil emergencies, water and structural rescues and delivering fire safety advice to residents and businesses.
The browser-based CRS enables staff to access the control room by securely logging on from any location to set up mobile command posts or provide remote support for incidents. The new platform will integrate Motorola Solutions’ CommandCentral Evidence software for storing and securely handling control room voice recordings, unifying critical communications and data in one platform, while also linking to the appropriate cases.
“Demand on the fire and rescue service has evolved over the years, and emergency services continue to respond to a wide range of complex incidents,” said Fergus Mayne, U.K. and Ireland country manager at Motorola Solutions. “Our cloud-hosted CRS solution benefits Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service with an intuitive and unified response system that integrates all communications into one efficient and resilient work environment.”
