Examining today's Corporate Law Department

Thomson Reuters Institute Insights Podcast

In the latest Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast, we speak to Meredith Ritchie, General Counsel of Alliant Credit Union; and Audrey Rubin, senior advisor with BarkerGilmore and former COO of the legal department at Aon, about some of the key findings of the 2023 State of the Corporate Law Department report and how those issues are impacting the daily operations of corporate law departments and in-house lawyers.

The discussion covers the increasing regulatory complexity that corporate general counsel must navigate, the pressure to stay on budget, key practices that may be poised for growth in the changing economy, and whether other strategic priorities like diversity, equity & inclusion may potentially see a loss of focus as new challenges take prominence.
