Rewriting the Rules of Legal Budgeting

About the Webinar

Legal budgeting conversations typically elicit groans from everyone involved. Tedious, repetitive, it is treated like a begrudgingly necessary annual chore. But despite the lack of glamor, your legal budget might be the most powerful tool you have to influence business outcomes, drive innovation, and elevate the role of legal.

Axiom’s new budget report reveals that most legal departments have reached a comfortable level of budget maturity, with only a few using their budgets to gain a competitive edge. The departments that are, however, are embracing flexibility, forging stronger CFO partnerships, and aligning spend with strategic impact.

With a GC, a CFO, and a Legal Operations leader on the panel, this cross-functional legal webinar will provide a holistic perspective on the forces shaping legal budgets.
