Today's most effective in-house lawyers do more than provide legal advice; they serve as strategic counsel to the business, helping shape decisions, navigate complexity, and find a path forward.
But what does that actually look like in practice?
In this on-demand webinar, our panel of experienced legal leaders share how they’ve moved beyond being downstream legal approvers to become trusted partners embedded in the business. The conversation explores why great strategic counsel needs to understand far more than the law, from product roadmaps and technology to revenue drivers, customer needs, and competitive pressures.
You'll hear practical perspectives on how to become a “team of how, not a team of no,” build influence with product and business stakeholders, and evaluate the “smart risks” that inevitably come with innovation. The panel also shares tactics for getting involved earlier—from joining the meetings where decisions are made to using office hours, playbooks, self-service tools, and technology to scale legal support without sacrificing strategic impact.
You'll also hear a real-world example of legal helping reshape the architecture of an AI-powered product to address privacy risk, not by stopping the initiative, but by working alongside the business to find a better solution.
Watch the webinar on demand to hear candid lessons from the front lines and explore the skills, judgment, and cross-functional influence defining the next generation of strategic in-house counsel.
