Expanded Knowledge Center: Our GLS Knowledge Centre expanded its searchable content library to cover the 13 most crucial in-house topics, consolidating our position as the go-to resource for in-house legal insights. This searchable resource is now a leading knowledge resource for the in-house community. 

In 2023, the GLS Legal Operations Community has not just accomplished milestones; we've redefined the landscape of knowledge sharing, community building, and transformative legal operations. Our commitment to providing the most extensive training curriculum and support resources across South East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, all offered freely, underscores our belief that in-house teams are pivotal in driving sustainable legal team transformation.
