Senior vice president and head of legal | Spencer's Retail

Team Size: 20

As we enter the next decade, what skills will a corporate legal team need to succeed in the modern in-house industry?

In last two years, major focus of businesses changed towards digital technology. In every function, technology is being introduced to increase efficiency and to be of better service to our team. In the process engagement of service providers, software-as-a-service providers are increasing. As we have witnessed, conventional legal teams are increasing their knowledge in the area of technology and AI to able to draft a good contract, and ultimately protecting the interests of stakeholders.

What is the biggest risk facing your industry now and how are you preparing your organisation to deal with this?

From what I have been able to detect, offline retail industry is facing challenges from online retail industry and every physical retailer has set up their own e-commerce platform and turned their model into a multichannel approach to sales, seeking to provide customers with a consistent shopping experience.

The unusual business environment created by the pandemic has been swiftly followed by the Ukraine crisis, and attendant supply chain costs rising and rising inflation. Are you now putting more emphasis on preparing for the unforeseen and, if so, what does this entail?

In our case, a business continuity plan is a crucial part of our business, and it tries to address all unlikely and most challenging events, while keeping our resources continued.
