Authense Law Office (Minato-ku, Tokyo) operates under the brand slogan "Focus on Emotions," aiming to not only resolve legal issues but also to empathize with people's feelings and address challenges. This webinar focuses on individuals struggling with resource shortages and excessive workloads in legal departments, legal professionals who want to know the optimal combination of AI tools, workflow improvements, and external personnel utilization, and management personnel who understand practical operations. We will break down legal operations from the perspectives of "structure," "business processes," and "outsourcing," and redefine workflows and role assignments to explain how to achieve both quality and speed in decision-making.
## How to Build an Optimal Operational Structure for Legal Affairs in 2026 and Beyond, Addressing Structural Issues
In legal departments, due to daily challenges such as responding to incomplete requests, complex approval routes, and lack of visibility into contract progress, legal staff often cannot allocate sufficient time to the "judgment tasks" they should primarily focus on. Furthermore, even after introducing AI tools, they may not be fully utilized on-site, failing to unleash their full potential. Even with increased personnel, a sense of improvement may not be felt. Some corporate legal departments may be facing such challenges. In this webinar, we will break down legal operations from the perspectives of "structure," "business processes," and "outsourcing," and redefine workflows and role assignments. We will explain how to achieve both quality and speed in decision-making. Additionally, we will introduce practical insights such as where bottlenecks in legal operations occur, which areas truly require the legal department's judgment, and how to design optimal roles, including those for business units. Mr. Koji Muto of ContractS Inc., which provides "ContractS CLM" for optimizing centralized contract management, Mr. Katsumi Akieda of Authense Consulting Inc., which offers consulting services specializing in legal affairs, and Lawyer Kiminobu Nishio of Authense Law Office, which operates "Legal Cloud" for outsourcing legal personnel to legal departments facing staff shortages, will speak. These three companies, each with their expertise, will provide practical tips to address the challenges of legal departments.
