“Trust matters": How Adelaide University General Counsel Shanti Berggren is building a self-service legal function from scratch with Josef

Shanti Berggren is General Counsel at Adelaide University, one the biggest (and newest!) universities in APAC. Speaking with Josef Co-founder and CEO Tom Dreyfus, Shanti shares how she walked into the role not knowing a single person on her team. She was the new kid on the block, and jumped at the opportunity to build her own legal function from scratch. Two years in, everything’s taking shape. The team is anchored to three central pillars (modernity, visibility and optimism), tech like Josef is doing the heavy lifting, and Shanti's lawyers are getting more time back to do the work only they can do.
