Building High Performance Legal Teams

About the Webinar

Legal departments are under more pressure than ever to deliver business value, reduce risk, and increase efficiency. Many teams are tempted to jump straight to solutions like bigger budgets or AI tools. But they often fail to address the people at the heart of the equation. Because in-house achievement doesn’t start with software or budget, it starts with your team.  

This legal webinar features an exclusive conversation with Marc Mandel, General Counsel of EXOS, and Ben Sachs, law professor at UVA and author of All Rise: Practical Tools for Building High-Performance Legal Teams. 

Together, they will discuss the DNA inside effective legal teams and the actionable strategies to elevate your legal team from good to great. Additional topics will include the importance of upward and downward feedback, how to build trust across business stakeholders, systems to measure and reinforce performance, and more.  

Agenda items include:

• Defining high performance in legal teams
  • Why technical skill isn’t enough, and what separates good from great 

• Manager’s toolkit

• Operational levers for scale
  • How to use structure and measurement to reinforce performance
