How to Build a Resilient Legal Team

Sam Miller outlines why and how legal leaders must utilize flexible counsel to enable better cost management, advance the business, and build resiliency.

Legal department leaders have always had to balance unpredictable workstreams in a fast-paced business environment, watch out for the development and job satisfaction of their teams, and demonstrate return on investment with legal spend – even without an economic downturn.

Alternative resourcing models are a key tool for GCs to address those challenges. This guide outlines how to partner with ALSPs, like Axiom, to gain the right combination of consistency and flexibility to better manage costs, enable your teams to focus where they’re needed most, and build an operating model that is resilient and prepared for future disruption.

The good news is that this isn’t experimental or bleeding-edge – it’s a tested and successful engagement model that has been pioneered by forward-thinking legal leaders like Sam Miller, who held multiple roles in her 27 years at Intel, including DGC of Business Legal, Corporate Secretary, and GC of Intel Capital, the company’s investment arm. This guide shares the best practices and actionable advice that Sam honed throughout her time at Intel.
