At the beginning of my career, I became a lawyer. A key reason for taking that direction was that I have always believed that this profession along with the other functions in legal systems plays a key role in the cohesion, balancing, and evolution of societies. Even though I am today a CFO by heart, due to both my past and present occupations, the nature of the legal function within corporations and beyond is of high interest to me, especially because I see them changing. That is why I count myself as part of the legal community as I share my thoughts here. Yes, lawyers pursue the particular objectives of their clients, and yes, there are many legal and professional boundary conditions—both for good reasons—but I still believe there is quite some room for lawyers to actively shape how we serve our clients and society at large. Much of that potential is still to be realized in particular when it comes to the legal function in enterprises and organizations. I therefore applaud how this book purports to lure legal professionals out of their comfort zone. For me, the concept of liquid legal means dissolving the rigid demarcation lines of what legal is and does. It is about bridging the gap between on the one hand the legal, compliance, and risk management departments1 and on the other hand all the adjacent functions in corporations, especially the customerfacing ones.
