Lex Mundi, a network of independent law firms, has released a report detailing the best way for legal leaders to handle an era of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA).

Earlier this year Lex Mundi held a conference with general counsels and chief legal officers in Amsterdam to see what worried them, Eric Staal, the vice president of business development at Lex Mundi, explained.

“This report is a response to GCs saying they’re not sure what to look for,” Staal explained.

The reason for so many unknowns, Staal said, is that governments across the world are becoming more active in regulating  business, and there is a lack of precedent for many emerging technology issues.
