Intapp Risk Staffing Survey Readout: Risk Staffing Trends Helped Firms Craft a Stronger Pandemic Response
The COVID-19 pandemic dealt law firms and other professional service firms an unprecedented hand, but research shows that the professionalization of risk teams — and their firms’ support for distributed staff — helped position risk services to continue without interruption during stay-at-home restrictions. Tune in to hear a panel of experts reflect on key findings from our recent Intapp Risk Staffing Survey that firms can use to inform their strategies in the new normal:
- How staffing models — increasing professionalization of the risk function — and technology set the stage for remote work, and enabled effective operations during the early months of pandemic response
- How firms can balance a global risk perspective with pragmatic local requirements
- How we can better respond to the broadening mandate of risk departments: including client commitments, cybersecurity, and information governance
