Exploring Innovative Legal Solutions: Insights from the MOLTON-RICOH Joint Seminar

In a world where organizations face increasing challenges related to compliance, human resources, and contract management, MOLTON Inc. and RICOH Japan recently held a groundbreaking seminar aimed at providing innovative legal solutions. This seminar marked the first event after MOLTON's rebranding from a23s Inc. and offered valuable insights into the integration of their respective legal services: ALSP (Alternative Legal Service Provider) and Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM).

The Context of the Seminar

It allows organizations to efficiently manage their legal operations without needing extensive in-house resources.

RICOH Japan's “Contract Workflow Service” complements this by providing a platform for streamlining contract management, thereby ensuring organizations can visualize and control their contracting processes efficiently. By combining these services, participants in the seminar were introduced to a comprehensive solution aimed at enhancing legal compliance and risk management.
