oUR TEAM & OUR EXPERTISE SET US APART
We bring clarity and understanding to compliance & legal technology, topics that are rife with ambiguity and difficult questions.
The recent ACC CLO report highlights CLOs are planning to invest in new processes and technology to increase defensibility against compliance threats, streamline their department and increase the value add their teams can deliver.
The report also shows that 40% of companies do not have a comprehensive data management strategy and only 16% of in-house legal departments strategically contribute to data initiatives.

Some Challenges...
- HOW DO I ENSURE OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE GOING FORWARD?
- The foundational pillars of operational resilience — business, cyber, third-party and technology — were all top of mind throughout 2020, and will continue to be so in 2021 and beyond.
- HOW DO i MANAGE AN EVER EXPANDING REGULATORY REGIME?
- Regulatory interventions are fast becoming the norm rather than the exception across a whole variety of industries.
- WHAT SHOULD MY POST-COVID CONTROLS LOOK LIKE?
- Many businesses have seen their operating models disrupted to the extent that they will never be the same again. How they adapt moving into the “next normal” will be critical.
- WHAT RISKS DOES DIGITAL REALLY POSE TO MY BUSINESSES?
- From increased competition driving new customer expectations to deep fakes thwarting existing controls, the reach of digital is further than it appears on the surface.
