Abstract
Legal departments today face multiple challenges, including cost pressure and an increase in workload due to a rapidly changing regulatory environment. The reaction to the challenges will have to be rethinking the way a legal department operates: The authors assess the current state of legal departments and their processes and paint a picture of the legal department 4.0—the future legal department with a new operating model, new processes and new sourcing strategy underpinned by technology.
