General Counsels and Chief Compliance Officers often face the dual challenge of safeguarding their organisations against regulatory risks while simultaneously contributing to business growth. Challenges are often rooted in demonstrating how your legal and compliance strategy facilitates the business strategy and ambition for growth. From facing resistance from business units, resource constraints and the difficulty of quantifying legal and compliance’s impact on the bottom line. However, the most successful leaders are integrating legal and compliance into strategic decision-making processes, leveraging data to predict and mitigate against risks whilst cultivating a company-wide culture where compliance fuels innovation rather than hindering it.

• Have a long-term plan with AI implementation to ensure you can continue upskilling more junior lawyers and senior lawyers with the right skill set
