Traditionally viewed as cost centers focused on risk mitigation and compliance, these teams are now at the forefront of decision-making processes, playing a pivotal role in shaping corporate strategies. One key factor contributing to this shift is the growing complexity of the business landscape. As organizations expand globally and navigate intricate regulatory environments, the need for in-house legal expertise becomes paramount. Legal professionals within the company are uniquely positioned to understand the intricacies of the business, allowing them to provide tailored advice that aligns with broader corporate objectives. As we celebrate the 2023 ranking of the ALB China Top 15 In-house Teams, we should acknowledge that the transformation of in-house legal teams into strategic partners reflects a paradigm shift in the corporate landscape. Their role is no longer confined to legal matters; instead, they are integral to shaping the trajectory of businesses, driving growth, and ensuring sustainable expansion in an ever-evolving global marketplace. 近年来，企业内部法务团队经历了显著的转变，从仅提供法律服务的角色， 发展成为推动企业增长和扩张的不可或缺的战略合作伙伴。传统上，团队专注于 风险缓解及合规，被视为企业的成本中心，现在他们却站在决策过程的前沿，对 塑造企业战略发挥关键作用。 促生这一转变的关键因素是商业环境的日益复杂化。随着企业在全球范围 内的扩张，以及在错综复杂的监管环境中的运营，内部法律专业支持变得至关 重要。公司内部的法务专业人员具备独到的业务理解能力，能够提供与更广泛 的企业目标相一致的定制化建议。 在庆贺今年的2023 ALB China 十五佳公司法务团队排名之际，我们应该 认识到：内部法务团队向战略合作伙伴的转变，恰恰反映了当下整个商业图景的 变化范式。企业法务的角色不再局限于法律事务；相反，他们是塑造企业发展轨 迹、推动增长，并在不断变化的全球市场中确保企业可持续扩张的重要一环。 IN-HOUSE IN THE SPOTLIGHT 聚焦公司法务
