Changes in political administration creates regulatory uncertainty as the new administration moves to implement its own agenda and policy.

Therefore, chief litigation officers in the financial services and insurance spaces need to manage a long list of priorities and challenges, while also communicating the strategic impact the litigation department has on their respective organizations.
