General counsel have long been tasked with mitigating organizational risk, but more and more are being asked to become strategic business partners.  This year saw general counsel stretch themselves in ways unimaginable prior to the events of 2020.  The pandemic and heightened awareness for social inequities have asked general counsel to place increased attention on existing core competencies as well as add new ones.  From anticipating work-from-home driven data risks to managing employee health and championing inclusion and diversity, general counsel are critical to navigating all that 2020 has had to offer.

  • Year-over-year trends regarding In-house legal technology adoption and proficiency
  • Emerging organizational risks resulting from remote work
