story
Legal, Data Privacy and Compliance practices, regardless of in-house or law firm, are at an inflection point. Corporations, Governments, Law Firms must embrace new, digital operating models or risk getting left behind. Legal Tech Companies must partner with organizations and consultancies to ensure sustainable change.
After years of driving change and innovation within some of the largest legal departments and tech players in the world, we are set out to bridge the existing gap and co-create the digital future within our profession. We help connecting people, culture, processes and technology for sustainable solutions.
Together we are Transforming Legal.
story
Vera & Tom are not consultants in the traditional sense. You can tell they come from real-world experience and truly put themselves into their clients’ shoes.
As co-architect of a digital transformation, I experienced Tom as a results-driven doer. He understands the challenges of a complex organization and is able to implement change in a sustainable way.
Its truly exciting to see the vision and purpose of Transforming.Legal take shape. Having seen Tom Pfennig in action for many years, he brings strategic vision, experience and results to the table that will significantly advance the impact of the in-house legal profession and benefit the clients and customers they serve. Congratulations Tom and all at Transforming.Legal!
I have been knowing Tom for many years when he was with Bayer. He is a frontrunner in innovation and change. He and his team have proven that a successful digital transformation results in service optimization and client satisfaction. Transforming.Legal will be a highly effective consulting boutique serving clients around the world with their unique implementation experience.
Tom and his team at Transforming.Legal will prove their claim to „Experience the Difference" in how they offer their services as well as how a legal function will enhance its effectiveness after the transformation.
Transforming.Legal will be a game changer in legal transformation consulting. Their pragmatic approach, tech understanding and real-world experience is difficult to match.
