What are the most significant cases, projects and/or transactions that you and/or your legal team have recently been involved in?

Over the past year, ZITEC’s legal team has played a key role in several high-impact projects supporting the company’s strategic expansion and operational consolidation. The most notable engagements were the implication in some M&A projects, complex transactions that involved detailed due diligence, asset and personnel integration, and the alignment of contractual and intellectual property frameworks across entities.

In addition, the team has led the negotiation and implementation of major commercial and technology agreements across both domestic and EU markets, ensuring compliance with data protection, cybersecurity, and public procurement requirements.

We have also strengthened ZITEC’s internal compliance and governance systems by updating corporate policies, contractual standards, and ESG-related procedures, ensuring that our operations remain fully aligned with evolving regulatory expectations and industry best practices.

How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crisis to ensure the organisation’s resilience?

Our approach to legal management during periods of instability is centered on risk anticipation, operational agility, and business continuity. The legal team operates as a strategic partner to the executive management, providing early risk identification, scenario planning, and adaptive legal frameworks to mitigate exposure in dynamic market or regulatory environments.

We emphasise clear governance structures, transparent internal communication, and proactive compliance monitoring, enabling the organisation to maintain resilience while pursuing its strategic goals. In times of uncertainty, the legal function focuses on facilitating informed, legally sound decision-making and ensuring that ZITEC’s commitments — to clients, partners, and employees — remain secure and sustainable.

AI has been taken seriously as a potentially revolutionary technological change in the legal world for a number of years now. Has it had a meaningful impact in how your legal team works this time?

Absolutely. At ZITEC, AI has reshaped the way our legal team delivers value, turning routine tasks into opportunities for strategic focus. A standout initiative has been the creation of an internal AI legal assistant, built in-house with our technology teams. This agent supports contract review, compliance monitoring, document summarisation, and regulatory research, freeing our lawyers to concentrate on complex, high-impact advisory work.

AI has enhanced speed, accuracy, and consistency without replacing human judgment, allowing the team to respond swiftly to evolving business and regulatory challenges. It has also strengthened collaboration between legal, IT, and operational functions, embedding innovation into everyday workflows.

For ZITEC, AI is no longer experimental — it is a core part of our legal strategy, empowering the team to be agile, data-driven, and fully aligned with the company’s growth ambitions in a dynamic digital landscape.

Looking forward, what trends do you foresee in the legal landscape over the next 5–10 years that companies should prepare for?

Over the next five to ten years, the legal landscape will be shaped by rapid technological evolution, regulatory complexity, and a heightened focus on ESG and data governance. AI and automation will increasingly support legal functions, enabling faster, more precise decision-making and transforming traditional workflows, while human expertise will remain critical for strategic, ethical, and complex advisory work.

Companies will also face growing regulatory scrutiny across digital, privacy, and sustainability areas, requiring proactive compliance and adaptable governance frameworks. Cross-border operations will demand greater agility, as legislation diverges and new standards emerge in areas like cybersecurity, AI ethics, and corporate responsibility.

At ZITEC, we see these trends as an opportunity to embed innovation and resilience into our legal strategy, leveraging AI tools, continuous learning, and cross-functional collaboration to stay ahead of change while safeguarding the business and supporting sustainable growth.
