About the Session
Legal departments across APAC are embracing smarter contracting tools and legal operations strategies to boost efficiency, reduce costs, and mitigate contract-related risk. Yet many teams still struggle with fragmented processes, manual workflows, and lack of cross-functional alignment.
This roundtable brings together legal, procurement, and operations leaders to share practical strategies and real-world lessons on:
-
Streamlining the contract lifecycle
-
Implementing legal tech and CLM platforms
-
Measuring legal ops maturity and operational ROI
-
Managing risk through clause governance and data insights
Expect actionable takeaways, peer exchange, and solution-focused dialogue—not theory.
All GC360 members will receive post-event access to the full session recording and practical toolkit via GC360Flix.
