Link Asset Management's Mainland China legal team is moving towards active involvement in business decision-making. Hive Box's Legal Department tells ALB they've integrated legal risk management into daily operations and are focusing on preemptive risk management in business. They aim to standardize basic legal tasks and improve in-house counsel skills, turning specialized legal work into standardized services to enhance efficiency and quality.

FUTURE RISKS ALB's second survey question asked: "What are the top three risks that concern your team for the coming years?" While there's overlap between current priorities and future concerns, the ranking shifts. Compliance is still the top concern (mentioned 13 times), followed by "changes in legislative and regulatory frameworks" (10 mentions), and then IP concerns (eight mentions).

With the growing significance of innovation, IP protection is now a priority for in-house teams. I-Mab's team emphasizes the importance of establishing a robust IP framework to support business growth, while CanSino highlights the need for a global IP strategy.

Leadership in team management is also vital. Nearly half of the survey respondents focused on enhancing efficiency, capacity building, digital transformation, and moving "from the back end to the front line" to add commercial value.
