In the latest Thomson Reuters Institute Insights podcast, we speak to Meredith Ritchie, General Counsel of Alliant Credit Union; and Audrey Rubin, senior advisor with BarkerGilmore and former COO of the legal department at Aon, about some of the key findings of the 2023 State of the Corporate Law Department report and how those issues are impacting the daily operations of corporate law departments and in-house lawyers.
