It is an exciting time for Deloitte Legal and there are plenty of new initiatives taking place within the world of Deloitte Legal’s Contracting team. We wanted to draw your attention to some recent campaign launches that we believe are of particular interest to all within the legal community.

Contractpreneurship – a series

Following the success of Partner, Peggy Pauwel’s Contractpreneurship blog series, we are delighted to be expanding the discussion through the introduction of the Contractpreneurship podcast series. Listen as Peggy and Tomas Vanderick delve into the world of contracting and provide insights for legal professionals on how to unlock value from contracts. 

Click here to listen to episode 1, exploring the value of commercial contract management and how optimising your contracting processes can reduce your cycle time by 30% and even increase your margins by up to 5%. 

Further episodes are being released soon.

The ROI of Contracting Excellence 2023 – last chance to register

In collaboration with the World Commerce and Contracting and our US team, we are pleased to announce the launch of the highly anticipated report, ‘The ROI of Contracting Excellence 2023’. This report reveals the critical role that contracts play in shaping an organisation's financial success. Despite their significance, the formation and management of contracts often receive inadequate attention and investment. Building upon research conducted almost a decade ago, our latest study draws upon data from over 1,200 organisations to examine the progress that has since been made. It also explores the influence of technological advancements and market volatility on contract value erosion.

Join us on Monday 17 July as we host an exclusive webinar launch which could provide some useful reference points as you build your business case for future Contract Lifecycle Management initiatives. To register: The ROI of Contracting Excellence.

Generative AI

We’ve been doing a lot of learning around Generative AI over recent months, testing a number of use cases already and are in the process of building our credentials in this space. 

The potential of Generative AI in legal has captured the imagination of many, and with the emergence of large language models, the legal industry has almost certainly reached its long-awaited tipping point toward transformative change. 

Read Deloitte Legal CTO Bruce Braude and Partner Isabel Parker’s guide into how corporate legal departments can leverage Generative AI.

Last but certainly not least, we are delighted to invite you to join us at the Deloitte Academy, London on Wednesday 20 September at 08.30 for our flagship, Generative AI event.

This interactive session, aimed at General Counsel, Chief Technology Officers, heads of legal and legal operations leaders will cut through the hype around Generative AI, and help you envision what this transformative technology really means for your work today and the future of your business. In this session we will:

• Run a live, interactive demonstration of a large language model, showing its strengths and challenges across a range of legal use cases
• Discuss the practicalities of identifying use cases for your business and moving from theory to practice
• Explore solutions for navigating the risks, legal implications and other issues involved in implementing generative AI, including stakeholder involvement, regulatory and ethical deliberations, and content provenance/protection/liability
