• - High Barriers to Legal Consultation: For companies lacking a dedicated legal department, seeking legal advice becomes challenging, leading to business inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

• - Management Challenges: Handling various contracts and maintaining compliance structures leads to operational complexity, placing companies at risk.
