Our Joint Managing Partner, Vivek K. Chandy, has been recently quoted in an article by Jyotsna Bhatnagar titled "Global giants eyeing India for legal, compliance GCCs," published in the print edition of Financial Express (India). In this article, Vivek shares his expert perspective. “While GLCCs can harness technological tools to automate regular and repetitive legal work, it would be difficult and risky to think of it as a substitute for lawyers and law firms. Law firms come with real-time experience of dealing with similar situations and sometimes it is their judgement about a potential legal risk that can be the gamechanger in navigating risks. therefore, GLCC and law firms typically have complementary roles rather than competing roles.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dW4G2_JU #JSA #LeadingLawyers #LeadingLawFirm #JSAexpertise #JSAThoughtLeadership #JSAInsights #JSAViews #LegalInnovation #GCCs #ComplianceMatters #LegalServices #IndiaBusiness #RiskManagement #LegalTech #FinancialExpress #India2047
