More than one in two GCs are aiming to cut their legal spend this year, according to a survey of 90 in-house lawyers at companies including Monzo, TransferWise, Npower, Pearson and notonthehighstreet.com.

The survey, conducted by legal services provider Lexoo, asked GCs and legal counsel to identify their team’s top three priorities for the coming year, with 53% saying that reducing legal spend was among their main aims for 2019.
