Unlocking Legal’s Strategic Value: From Proactive Risk Management To Affirmative Protection of Revenue
As the corporate legal department continues to evolve, in-house lawyers have experienced a shift in their value and role within the company. The historical focus has been on avoiding and mitigating risk and damages, while constantly reactive and under pressure to minimize cost. Now, legal departments are becoming more integrated throughout the business and are fueling corporate initiatives.
The emergence of legal operations and technology is creating a new frontier where efficiency and data are unlocking new opportunities for legal to positively impact the business. By embracing a more commercial mindset, CLOs are collaborating with CFOs and other business leaders to transform legal’s strategic function.
Join us as we explore different methods on how a proactive legal department can be leveraged to systematically reduce commercial conflict and risk, protect revenue streams, and increase profit margins.

- Deconstructing a proactive risk management strategy
