Today’s savvy General Counsel (GCs) are facing a raft of challenges posed by tech, resourcing, and budget constraints, with in-house teams stretched beyond capacity. While some challenges offer opportunities for GCs to change their organisation’s approach – for example resourcing – how can GCs justify investment in their function when budgets are being slashed?
This webinar will explore the main challenges and opportunities defining 2024’s in-house legal landscape, and how GCs can respond to them.
During this webinar we will consider the following:
- What are the main challenges GCs are facing in 2024?
- How are GCs responding to these challenges and finding solutions that will help them to meet business and departmental needs?
- Budget cuts: how can GCs secure necessary investment to overcome resourcing challenges?
- How can GCs work most effectively with law firms and alternative resourcing solutions?
