Combining CPO’s expertise in post-academic legal education with KPMG’s experience in legal transformation, the LTP supports lawyers in strengthening their role in a technology-driven and increasingly regulated environment.

AI, data and technologies are reshaping how organizations operate and how they are regulated. At the same time, regulation is expanding in scope and complexity, increasingly intersecting with technology and business decisions.
These changes are unfolding faster than legal teams can realistically adopt through traditional ways of working, creating mounting pressure on capacity, consistency, and keeping pace with business expectations.
Legal professionals are expected to engage earlier and operate closer to the business, translating regulatory and technological change into practical guidance, while delivering more with fewer resources. This creates a widening capability gap: expectations for technology-enabled, business-aligned legal advice are rising faster than many legal professionals’ ability to consistently deliver it at speed. KPMG’s LTP is designed to close this gap.
