Syntec Numérique spoke to six legal directors, members of the Legal Commission.
These professionals, in charge of legal affairs within their companies, tell us how their day-to-day lives have been shaped by digital technology: the use of innovative tools, changes in working methods, and so on.
As a result of this digital transformation, the posture of the in-house lawyer is profoundly altered. Lawyers are able to devote more of their time to high value-added tasks. As a result, these functions now play a key role in corporate strategy.
The Chairman of the Legal Committee took the floor in an article published by Les Echos on the subject:“Voici enfin le juriste d’entreprise 2.0” (“At last, the in-house lawyer 2.0”), to speak for Syntec Numérique on this subject.
Paths to follow, because they inspire us.
They shared their success:
- Florence Bigot, Legal Director, Ethics and Compliance, France, Morocco, Capgemini, “Digital is changing the role of the lawyer, in fact, it’s allowing us to reinvent our profession!”
- Marina Stavrinides, General Counsel, PTC, “We’re looking at all the innovations like contract automation, blockchain and AI to see how they can make our work easier.”
- Estée Artis, Senior Consultant, TNP Consultants, “It’s no longer just about having legal skills, but about supporting customers in project management, risk analysis, etc.”
- Laetitia Pereira, Legal Manager, Divalto, “Digital tools are changing the way we do business […] and they are also helping operational staff to become more autonomous […]. There is now a real culture of law in the company.”
- Nadia Nevzi, General Counsel, Oscaro.com, “The real contribution of digital is to show that legal now plays a strategic role in developing a company’s business in the same way as other functions!”
- Vanessa Gourmelon, Senior Lawyer, Banking and Insurance sector, IBM France, “We apply internally the same agile methods that IBM uses with its customers. We work in project mode and collaboratively.”
