Pros
- exposure to complex matters - some competent stakeholders
Cons
- Dysfunctional legal and compliance team with weak leadership and ineffective management - Leadership lacks experience and does not demonstrate the capability requied to manage a complex, high-risk legal and compliance function - No clear strategic direction or disciplined prioritisation, resulting in constant firefighting and unnecessary operational strain - Decision-making is inconsistent and often unclear, driving inefficiency and avoidable stress - Junior lawyers received limited supervision, feedback, or structured development - Senior lawyers burdened with excessive responsibility without the authority, support, or resourcing needed to operate sustainably - Environment is unsuitable for junior lawyers seeking proper training and unsustainable for experience practitioners
