How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crises, and how does your legal strategy align with the broader business strategy to ensure the organisation’s resilience? 

We approach this with forward-looking planning and by considering future changes in good time. 

What emerging technologies do you see as having the most significant impact on the legal profession in the near future, and how do you stay updated on these developments? 

Algorithm-based applications that perform certain time-consuming legal work without the need for fine-tuned legal expertise will certainly have a significant impact on the legal profession in the near future. We stay updated by keeping a close eye on the legal technology market, by adopting an open attitude to its use and by requiring service providers such as law firms to implement it. 

How do you prioritise diversity and inclusion within your legal department, and what initiatives have you implemented to foster a more inclusive and equitable work environment? 

In order to foster an inclusive and equitable work environment, you need a transparent business culture that applies equally to everyone and is based on clearly measurable performance targets.
