On-demand webinar: How to Elevate the Legal Role

How to elevate the legal role

In partnership with In-House Connect and a panel of three of our Legal Disruptors, we discuss how legal professionals can elevate their role, to be the strategic, value-added business players we know legal can be.

Kicking off with findings from our Legal Disruptor's survey of over 250 legal professionals, the conversation highlighted three major pressures facing today’s legal teams: balancing evolving responsibilities with daily workloads, becoming more integrated into business strategy, and adapting to fast-moving technological change. Against these challenges, the panel explored how forward-thinking lawyers and legal professionals are reshaping the function to become strategic drivers of value.

Our panellists, made up of Legal Consultant Sarah Irwin, Contracts Consultant Giovanna O'Malley and General Counsel Carly Duvall Le Riche, we unpack four key principles for elevating the legal role: strengthening business acumen, building strong cross-department relationships, creating a trusted personal brand, and embracing tech and AI as a partner rather than a threat. Real-world stories from our legal expert panellists, including how to embed yourself within your sales team and their language, to ways on how to build your personal brand through trust and curosity, to using AI as a “virtual associate”, all illustrate practical ways legal teams can shift from reactive risk managers to strategic business enablers.

Whether you’re looking for ideas on strengthening collaboration with colleagues, curious about how technology can lighten routine work, or interested in reshaping your professional reputation, this webinar offers a wealth of fresh perspectives.
