- Managed development of a privacy compliance automation tool, a sophisticated, subscription-based compliance platform created by lawyers and delivered through the Client Projects team.

This contained a linked index, navigation markers and a replicable format which could be used by both our client's in-house legal team as well as their business operations teams. The project was a finalist for the FT Innovative Lawyers Asia-Pacific 2021 'building design thinking' Award.
- Partnered with beNEXT to manage the development of smart legal contract solutions and built on blockchain, for the real estate and property industries. This included an automated solution for agency authority agreements.
