FOR GENERAL COUNSEL WHO THINK LIKE CEOS
DR. NO
The thinking your outside counsel doesn't want you to read
Most legal departments are busy.
Very few are influential.
Ideas on influence, leverage and the operating models of modern legal teams — for General Counsels who want to change that.
Legal departments are under more pressure than ever.
More regulation. More complexity. More expectations from the business.
But the operating model hasn't really changed.
Most teams are still designed around headcount.
Which creates a simple problem.
Demand grows faster than legal capacity.
The best General Counsels have started solving this differently.
Not by growing the team.
By redesigning capacity.
That is where leverage begins.
