Description

Presently, legal professionals need to simplify the complexities of their contract management - to speed up contracting while better managing contractual risks. They need to free up invaluable but underutilized resources, and focus on higher-value, strategic work. This way, they can provide better risk guidance - to steer important business decisions - and ultimately drive revenue growth.

This program was recorded as part of ALM's Legalweek 2021 Virtual Conference on April 13th, 2021.
