In this regard, he notes that \u201cwhen things go well for several years, the difficult question arises: why transform?\u201d, referring to the so-called \u201csuccess syndrome\u201d, which may hinder firms\u2019 ability to anticipate future risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also stresses the importance of embracing risk as a necessary element of evolution: \u201clooking back and seeing that, in the past, risky decisions were made which today form the basis of a firm\u2019s success helps partners understand that risk is necessary\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, he underlines the need to move towards a more open organisational culture that embraces learning and the management of mistakes. \u201cWe all make mistakes, but it is something we fear greatly\u201d, he states, adding that \u201cit is important to focus on giving younger professionals responsibilities and helping them understand that making mistakes is part of real life\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, Carlos Rueda concludes that transformation in the legal sector cannot be approached solely from a technological or process-driven perspective, but requires a deeper cultural shift to enable organisations to adapt sustainably to an ever-changing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"Boton-block_ae12b99463a2964f28d062146a190673\" class=\"Boton\">\n\n            <a class=\"primaryCta scaleFromLeft rotateIcon\"
