We are using programmes to follow up litigation that is integrated with the national court system, to measure the performance of external lawyers, agreements and whole correspondence archiving. I personally focus on digitalisation to serve to the upper management, [including] analysis of the team’s performance and results and to be in line with the company’s clean desk policy.
