    • Act as a liaison between global offices to leverage shared resources and expertise.
  5. Alternative Resourcing Solutions:

    • Evaluate and integrate alternative delivery models, including Global Delivery Centres and other flexible staffing solutions, to meet client and business demands.

    • Identify opportunities to leverage legal technology and automation tools to streamline workflows and reduce manual processes.

    • Collaborate with relevant teams to implement process improvements that enhance efficiency and service quality.
  6. Well-Being & Performance Feedback:
