In this interview with Help Net Security, Zack Hutto, Director of Advisory Services at Gartner's Legal and Compliance Practice, talks about the challenges legal and compliance teams are facing and the technologies that can help them.

As digital transformation initiatives continue - or accelerate due to the pandemic - and many companies consider strategic pivots, legal and compliance teams face both new risks and shifting risk tolerances, forcing teams to adapt their advice and support to their respective organizations.

Such enterprise shifts also typically change the mix of stakeholders that legal and compliance teams must influence, requiring teams to build new relationships and consider different stakeholder preferences, given that a substantial portion of legal and compliance leaders' impact stems from their influence with key individuals.

Shifting business concerns also increase the "Noise" that business clients encounter, diluting messages from legal and compliance teams and/or reducing the mental bandwidth that business clients might lend to legal and compliance issues.

Regulatory volatility disrupts legal and compliance teams as they face a changing landscape of risk.

Lagging tech sophistication among legal and compliance leaders as well as significant hype in the market threaten to derail corporate legal and compliance leaders' pursuit of the enabling technologies and their methods of use that would benefit the function.
