How Rishi is building a better working world
“Legal departments are under greater pressure to do more with less resources as risks and regulations increase and budgets are cut. I work closely with them to implement solutions and digital technologies that help innovate legal processes to boost efficiency, lower costs and provide timely insights to better mitigate risk. This in turn frees up resources and allows legal departments to play a strategic role in helping the business grow.
By collaborating with legal departments to develop better staffing models, I also help them leverage the appropriate talents at the right time and price from a multidisciplinary pool of professionals.”
