Like other corporate legal departments (CLDs), in-house teams based in the finance sector are struggling to do more with less—only with the added burden of being one of the most tightly regulated industries on the global business landscape.

From as far back as the introduction of the credit card in the 1950s and the ATM in the 1960s, financial institutions have leveraged customer-facing technologies to increase efficiencies and gain a competitive edge. However, the pandemic and the sudden push towards a remote working environment may have expanded that focus inward towards digital tools such as matter and spend solutions that bring new efficiencies to middle office functions.
