Redefining Legal Functions in an Era of Workforce Mobility

Authense Law Office (Tokyo, Minato City), known for its brand slogan "Focus on Emotions," is hosting a free webinar aimed at rethinking legal functions in today's rapidly changing workforce landscape. This event is especially beneficial for legal professionals who are considering a significant overhaul of their legal strategies or seeking to go beyond mere resource replenishment.

Scheduled for February 12, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 12:40 PM (JST), this online event will feature attorney Munenobu Nishio, who has a wealth of experience in supporting numerous corporations with their legal department structures. He will discuss key insights into creating a sustainable legal organization that thrives in an AI-enhanced environment.

Context: A Shifting Legal Landscape

The legal industry is currently facing significant challenges such as a continuous lack of legal personnel, difficulties in recruitment, and a complex business environment amplified by AI technology. The conventional method of merely hiring and training personnel is becoming increasingly insufficient to maintain long-term legal functions. Organizations now need to reassess their legal frameworks with a focus that goes beyond traditional resource management.

It is crucial to recognize that simply outsourcing due to a shortage of manpower is a temporary fix. Instead, firms should consider what processes should be managed by whom and how to redesign legal functions as part of their organizational infrastructure effectively.

What to Expect from the Webinar

During the webinar, Nishio will delve into several pertinent topics including:
1. Identifying Tasks That AI Can and Cannot Perform: Understanding which areas can benefit from AI solutions.
2. Common Traits of Companies Successfully Streamlining Contract Operations: What strategies are being employed by industry leaders?
3. How to Address the Polarization of Legal Departments: Navigating the divide in legal resources and responsibilities.
4. The Impact of External Perspectives on Organizational Change: How different viewpoints can foster transformation.

Designed for management-level attendees, this webinar is ideal for those contemplating a fundamental reassessment of their legal functions or aspiring to draft comprehensive legal strategies.

Nishio's experience includes founding an outsourcing service to solve the chronic legal talent shortage, making him well-equipped to guide organizations through these turbulent times. He aims to redefine the legal function with a focus on collaboration with AI technologies and the optimized use of external resources.
