Panels will offer strategies for mitigating outside spend and leveraging AI-powered efficiencies

Companies operating in the financial sector continue to pay the highest legal rates of any industry. To help the sector take control of spend, Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions will outline practical steps that corporate legal departments operating in the banking, finance and insurance spaces can take during a series of panels – Legal Leaders Exchange Live: Banking and Finance Edition – to be held on March 8 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET at 28 Liberty Street in New York City.

Nathan Cemenska, Director of Legal Operations and Industry Insights at Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions, will provide a data-driven overview of key trends in outside counsel rates unfolding across the banking, finance and insurance industries, as well as strategies that general counsel should deploy to mitigate spend while also streamlining processes. To assist with those efforts, Abhishek Mittal, Global Head, Data Analytics and Operational Excellence at Wolters Kluwer, will review different AI use cases and solutions to help legal operations professionals better understand how the technology can be woven into their various processes or workflows to drive new efficiencies, improve billing guideline compliance and enhance law firm relationships.
