Multi-disciplinary teams for in-house legal

Sarah is a Distinguished Fellow at the Centre of Legal Innovation, having recently completed a fellowship on this very topic. So if you’re interested in learning more about how and why MDTs are helping legal teams better solve client problems, this episode is for you.
