Increase the influence and impact of your legal team

More regulation, increasingly complex supply chains, an acceleration of new technologies, the growing influence of public opinion and most recently, the coronavirus pandemic – has thrust legal teams to the forefront of their organisations. More than two thirds of general counsels have a business-related financial KPI. 86% of GCs sit on, or report into, the board*.

It’s evident that legal is becoming a strategic asset, not just an assurance function.
