Latest Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions Podcast Discusses Information Management Challenges with Microsoft Legal Experts

Microsoft’s Tom Orrison and Jason Barnwell talk scaling law departments to meet growing business demands

The latest installment of Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ Legal Leaders Exchange Podcast welcomes two experts from the corporate legal department at Microsoft Corporation – Tom Orrison, Director of Legal Operations, and Jason Barnwell, General Manager for Digital Transformation of Corporate, External and Legal Affairs.

In a conversation moderated by Nathan Cemenska, Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ Director of Industry Insights and Legal Operations, Orrison and Barnwell discuss the challenges of tracking subject matter expertise across vast corporate legal departments, how metadata can help streamline that search, and the urgent business demands forecasting major cultural shifts within the legal industry. Microsoft’s corporate legal department is more than 1800 strong.

“As the business grows and becomes more complex and the regulatory environment in which we work becomes more complex, the old tricks are not going to work. We need to find a way to exponentially scale,” Orrison says during the podcast.

“The Legal Leaders Exchange Podcast was launched to deliver unparallelled insight into how today’s corporate law departments are optimizing their legal operations and driving new efficiencies,” Cemenska of Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions says. “Thank you to Tom Orrison and Jason Barnwell for providing a window into how even a company as robust as Microsoft can remain nimble in the face of legal’s ongoing digital transformation.”

Orrison leads a team at Microsoft focused on contracting, records, legal procurement, productivity solutions and support services. His responsibilities include digitially transforming the delivery of legal services while continuing to maintain the durable systems needed to support high-volume work.

Barnwell leads the innovation efforts inside Microsoft’s Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs department, helping to guide the cultural and technical investments that contribute the most value in an increasingly fast-moving and complex environment.
