The future of high-performing legal departments isn't about choosing between legal ops and legal strategy—it's about making them inseparable. Drawing from my experience leading legal transformation across complex global organizations, I'll share the uncomfortable truths about where legal ops creates genuine business value versus where it becomes expensive overhead.
Using insights from ACC-CLOC maturity assessments and PwC's latest benchmarking, we'll examine how leading organizations break down silos between legal strategy and operations to drive measurable business outcomes. This isn't another framework presentation—it's a strategic reset based on real-world wins and failures.
