What do you value most in external advisers working alongside your team: sector knowledge, responsiveness, innovation, or something else? 

All of the above are important, but in practice we place particular value on responsiveness, experience and, above all, a genuinely solution-oriented mindset. We seek for advice that is not only technically robust, but also pragmatic and readily usable by the business is key for us. We also tend to prefer close, collaborative relationships, with advisers who understand our way of working and can operate as a natural extension of the team, rather than a more formal, arm’s-length model. 

  

In what ways has technology or process innovation changed how your legal team operates?

Technology and process innovation have been central to reshaping how the Legal team operates, particularly through a focus on productivity, scalability and freeing up capacity for higher value work. We have been advancing this through a combination of process simplification, data-driven management and the progressive adoption of AI. In practice, this includes the use of AI-supported solutions to streamline administrative activities (such as legal research and responses to auditors and authorities), as well as targeted pilots in areas like commercial documentation review to improve speed and consistency.

At the same time, we are exploring the use of generative AI to support drafting and enhance access to internal legal knowledge, alongside broader efforts to build more structured data and decision-support tools, particularly in litigation. Overall, these initiatives are gradually making the function more efficient, more consistent and better equipped to support the business in a practical and timely manner.
