The start of a new year is often marked with resolutions to do things differently, whether in our personal or professional lives. However, despite the best of intentions, competing priorities and unexpected events can easily sidetrack these goals. This year, the threat of a recession looms large and is already beginning to impact business across all sectors, including legal services. For in-house legal departments, such predictions will likely create pressure to do more internally with fewer resources, which is why lawyers must double down on setting goals for themselves and following through in order to meet the challenges of the year ahead.
