In this special episode of The Corporate
Counsel Show, produced in partnership with LOD, we explore the
phenomenon of “constant firefighting” that law department leaders
are facing, as well as trends around artificial intelligence, data
fluency, and ESG.
Host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by LOD head of market insights Mark
Dodd and Canon Oceania chief legal counsel David Field to discuss
the findings from LOD’s recently released annual Global
Survey Report, how and why general counsel feel like they are
constantly putting out fires, the extent to which GCs are currently
exploring AI, increases in data fluency, and how and why the
priorities of Australia-based law department leaders differ to
their global counterparts.
The trio also delve into the need for investment in capability and
building appropriate systems, entropy in human systems, overcoming
the need for constant firefighting, the strategic importance of
ESG, and broader reflections on LOD’s survey findings and what they
mean for law departments across the country, as the new year
approaches.
