We explore how legal teams can build strong data foundations to enable responsible AI, why legal functions are often overlooked after deal completion and how targeted intervention can reduce risk during periods of transformation. We also share insights on maximising the value of flexible legal talent, navigating cross border managed services and responding to a rapidly evolving employment landscape.
