Lean Legal, Bigger Impact: How In-House Teams Can Do More Without Burning Out

In-house legal teams are under growing pressure to support more stakeholders, move faster, and handle an expanding range of work without a corresponding increase in resources. But the answer is not simply asking legal to work harder or move quicker. The real challenge is building a legal function that is structured to operate efficiently, scale thoughtfully, and support the business without creating constant strain on the team. For in-house counsel, that means being more intentional about workflows, systems, and how legal work gets done.

Join us on Monday, May 11 at 12:00 PM ET as Donna Scaffidi, Head of Legal Innovation at Ruli AI explores how lean in-house legal teams can build smarter operating models that increase impact without increasing chaos. This session will focus on practical ways to improve legal architecture, use AI and technology more effectively, and create systems that help teams work more strategically while reducing friction and protecting against burnout.

Key Takeaways:

• How lean legal teams can build systems and workflows that reduce friction and increase capacity
• Ways to use AI and automation to support legal work more effectively without adding unnecessary complexity
• How to identify which work should be standardized, streamlined, or handled differently across the legal function
• Practical strategies for designing a legal operating model that supports scale, speed, and sustainability
• How to increase legal’s impact while protecting the team from burnout and overload

This webinar is designed for in-house legal professionals who are managing growing demand with limited resources and looking for smarter ways to structure their teams, workflows, and technology. It will be especially relevant for general counsel, deputy general counsel, legal operations leaders, and other members of corporate legal departments who want to improve efficiency, better support the business, and build a more resilient legal function.
