Agenda Day 1

11:20 AM DEVELOPMENTAL THINK TANK: THE SWEET SPOT - DETERMINING THE BEST OPERATING MODEL FOR YOUR LEGAL OPERATIONS FUNCTION

As legal operations departments evolve beyond traditional operating models, defining the "right" fit for the function has become both a strategic priority and a challenge. By decentralising, organisations can balance cost and quality, particularly when outsourcing work to external entities that act as an extension of in-house teams. A centralised approach can offer standardisation across teams and markets that creates consistency. There's much to consider, but if legal operations leaders get it right, they can refine their approach across diverse environments in an increasingly complex landscape.

  • Examine the spectrum of operating models, from centralised to decentralised, and hybrid – and discuss the practical realities of each
  • Assess regulatory differences, contrasting legal systems, and cultural variations that must be considered in decision making
  • Gain insight into how to design models that are scalable, flexible, and aligned to the wider business
