The Data Guardian in Chief | Part 1 of 2
Strategic Leadership in Action and Reaction
Dive into the first part of The General Counsel Report and explore insights from 34 chief legal officers and general counsel.
In its sixth consecutive year, The General Counsel Report continues its exploration of the ongoing evolution of in-house counsel. FTI Technology and Relativity engaged Ari Kaplan Advisors to conduct this annual study of in-house legal department trends, challenges, and best practices for 2025. Part one of this two-part series offers a comprehensive look at the current state of global corporate legal functions and year-over-year analysis of developing trends.
And for the first time, this year’s study also includes findings from a parallel, quantitative study of more than 200 general counsel in a dozen countries — offering a global perspective on emerging trends.
