Pre-Merger Contract Assessment
In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), pre-merger contract assessment is a critical step in due diligence. Before any deal is finalised, organisations must thoroughly review existing contracts to identify risks, obligations, and opportunities that could impact the transaction’s success. This process ensures that both legal and financial exposures are understood, regulatory requirements are met, and integration planning is informed by accurate information. By focusing on contract assessment early, companies can avoid costly surprises and lay the groundwork for a successful merger or acquisition.

Closing the Gaps: Standardizing Responsible AI Amidst a Fragmented Global Governance Landscape
The global AI governance landscape is fragmented, with over 1,000 proposed and enacted policies spanning 69 countries, resulting in a complex web of inconsistent and often reactive regulations. Laws governing AI are rarely harmonized across borders and are deeply entangled with broader data protection, cybersecurity, and digital governance policies. This legal complexity makes it difficult for enterprises, especially those operating in sensitive sectors like telecom, healthcare, and government services, to implement AI solutions responsibly. In healthcare, AI tools risk exacerbating diagnostic inequities without fairness testing; in public services, opaque algorithms can reinforce systemic exclusion; and in telecom, restrictions around cross-border data sharing introduce significant governance challenges.
