I would love to know your current thoughts on using GenAI as a tool within Legal/Compliance to help your business "self-serve" to answer those routine questions that can fill our mailboxes. Does it excite you? Scare you? Are you working towards it/experimenting already or is it in your future roadmap/something you would consider too risky now?

Anna LozynskiFreelance General Counsel, Innovation Consultant & Tech Influencer4 months ago

I'd say that possibility excites me. Unfortunately, it's probably too much to ask for a universal template and portal for customers and suppliers to use so that you have one form to rule them all, so as a next best scenario, ...read more

We're currently working on minimizing the number of supplier agreements that necessitate legal review, especially considering that many of them pose low risk and may not warrant the time investment. I'm curious to know if others have implemented similar measures and, if so, which types of supplier agreements have been permitted to bypass formal legal review.

Anna LozynskiFreelance General Counsel, Innovation Consultant & Tech Influencer4 months ago

Hi. I've done this in-house in the past. We used a $ materiality threshold as the predominant line in the sand, but there were some exceptions, as always! It worked in reducing the workload though.

Does anyone utilize a Contract Builder that ties into a CLM? Ideally, a program/software that would automate the authoring/drafting of a contract with minimal manual entry, ability to dynamically incorporate standard exhibits, and potentially integrate to a CLM system that can track signatures, key tags, store, with a searchable database.

Anna LozynskiFreelance General Counsel, Innovation Consultant & Tech Influencer7 months ago

I have used such Contract Builder feature in SAP Ariba Contract Management tool. It has clause libraries, templates etc. for authoring/drafting the contract. It can then integrate into its own or 3rd party CLM systems and ...read more

With the growing use of gen AI and automation in the legal sector, concerns among employees about job security, the relevance of their current roles, and data privacy are rising. What steps can we take to address and overcome the apprehension about these changes in our teams, moving from resistance to acceptance and proactive engagement? How can we prepare our teams to adapt and succeed in this new technological landscape?

People & Leadership

Anna LozynskiFreelance General Counsel, Innovation Consultant & Tech Influencer8 months ago

Communication and transparency: an open conversation so staff can discuss their fears (without being reprimanded). Silence is what creates uncertainty.

As part of your law firm engagement process, do you vet the law firms (and relationship partners) for any reputational red flags, including fraud, ethical misconduct, etc. prior to engagement? If so, what parameters do you use when vetting the firm, do you vet all firms, boutique firms, international ones, etc.? Who in your organization vets the firms, Compliance, Procurement, other?
