Trends that will be discussed include:
- Changes in strategy accelerated by the global pandemic
- Increasing scrutiny from LPs
- The rise of cost control measures in PE houses
- Digitization and its role in strategic decision making
- How ESG will shape decisions made within legal departments
- How will issues such as cyber security impact the deal process and where does the legal department fit in?
The in-house lawyer of the future is going to be so much more than a sharp legal mind. They will need to be commercially-focused strategic partners, tech-savvy innovators, and the fulcrum on which the business rests.
The legal tech revolution helps lawyers identify and exploit opportunities. ALX London will prepare them for changing perceptions of how in-house teams bring value to their business.
General Counsels will be the core component in managing business stakeholders, relationships, and external law firms, and will ensure their businesses run efficiently and continue to grow.
ALX London is about equipping the lawyer of tomorrow with the skills they need to adapt to the changing legal landscape.
The expo is designed for General Counsels, Heads of Legal, Legal Operations Managers and other senior decision-makers within in-house legal departments.
