The challenge

The corporate employs thousands of people worldwide. The in-house legal team at Depa Group deals with a wide range of people, whether they are employees or customers.

In recent years the role of in-house legal counsel has significantly changed.

That’s why they try looking for a solution that provides centralization, collaboration, visibility, and security.
