Despite high stakes in client engagements, legal teams are frequently brought in late, resulting in friction, rework, and missed opportunities to shape risk outcomes. The lack of standardized operational playbooks makes consistency across geographies and practice areas difficult. As regulatory complexity grows, so does the gap between legal oversight and project execution.
