Annual budgets do more than allocate spend. They reveal where legal leaders are placing their bets on the future.

Join Axiom and Law.com for an exclusive discussion exploring the key findings from the Axiom 2027 In-House Legal Budget Report and what they tell us about the changing role of corporate legal departments. Drawing on insights from more than 500 legal and finance leaders across North America, the UK and Asia-Pacific, this webinar will examine how organisations are balancing investment in people, technology, AI, legal operations, and outside counsel while navigating growing workloads, global complexity, and increasing pressure to deliver greater business value.

Our panel of legal leaders will discuss how today's decisions are reshaping legal operating models, and what legal leaders should be doing now to build more agile, scalable, and resilient functions for the years ahead.

What You'll Learn

  • Where budget growth is and isn't translating into real capacity, and what to examine before asking for more money.
  • What realistic AI assumptions look like in a 2027 budget, including which benefits are still too uncertain to bank.
  • A practical framework for deciding whether work belongs in-house, with a law firm or with a flexible provider.
  • How to build flexibility into a budget that will have to absorb events no one can forecast.
  • The measures legal leaders actually put in front of CFOs and boards to show business value.
