Transforming Legal Operations Unit Into An Internal Partner in Challenging Times

Date: Monday, May 18, 2020

Time: 2pm ET | 11am PT

Sponsored by: Everlaw 

Heather Nevitt, Corporate Counsel’s Editor-in-Chief, talks with a law practice management consultant and former senior vice president and general counsel of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) on best practices to transform a legal operations unit into an internal business partner. How do you build relationships and alignment across business units? How does legal operations support strategic decision making for outside counsel selection and which issues should remain in-house? How can technology and innovation be used to support employees from all parts of the business?

Effective collaboration has always been key to achieving optimal productivity in an increasingly complex world. The onset of the coronavirus pandemic has not only made the world more complex but has also increased the pressure on teams to maintain productivity and business continuity goals without the benefit of physical proximity.

Corporate legal teams in particular have always navigated a complex maze of inside and outside counsel, contract attorneys, paralegals, witnesses, internal departments, and executives, among others. Today, to ensure successful outcomes, they must collaborate with those teams virtually to manage litigation disputes, internal investigations, regulatory requirements, legal holds, and data privacy matters.

In this session, we will explore:

  • The value and methods of effective digital collaboration
  • How to avoid communication silos
  • How technology can create a shared space for collaboration and efficient decision-making among complex legal teams and workflows
  • Key questions that legal operations teams should ask when evaluating technology solutions
