Industry background
The Legal profession in Australia is changing rapidly with the advancement of technology, automation of tasks, fierce competition between firms and client demand for greater value and lower costs resulting in alternative business models. The need for outsourcing and utilising legal services by project has continued to rise, resulting in the growth of interim legal counsel roles in organisations.
New regulations and a heightened regulatory environment are driving demand for exceptional talent, particularly in the financial services sector and other highly regulated industries. Specialist skill sets in risk management and compliance are among the most sought after as organisations seek to address increasingly complex business and regulator requirements. Fierce competition is also seeing organisations going above and beyond to secure and retain experienced senior professionals.
