For the sixth consecutive year, The General Counsel Report continues its exploration of the ongoing evolution of in-house counsel.

Part two of this two-part series offers an examination of generative artificial intelligence adoption, technology road mapping within the legal department, and the use of technology as a strategy for responding to pressures.
And for the first time, this year’s study introduces findings from a parallel, quantitative study of over 200 general counsel in a dozen countries — providing a global perspective on the state of in-house legal.
