During times of uncertainty the legal department is getting closer to the business and the commercial decisions. We create new ways for company restructuring and define how the business could change to stabilise the business and income streams.
Do you make use of any ‘legal tech’ products, and if so, for which areas of your job do you find it most useful?
We are using a ticketing system and a matter management system as well as searchable contract repository. For 2024 and 2025 we are looking into utilising AI tools to review and pre create contracts specific to our business sector.
