The Bottleneck That’s Crushing Your Legal Team’s Productivity (And How to Fix It)
Thursday, July 24th • 12:00 PM – 2:45 PM ET
Legal teams aren’t drowning in complex legal issues—they’re drowning in distractions. Endless emails, Slack messages, last-minute “quick questions,” and ad hoc requests are quietly killing productivity and keeping lawyers from doing the strategic work they were hired for. The real bottleneck isn’t bandwidth—it’s busywork. And until it’s addressed, Legal will continue to be misunderstood, overworked, and under-resourced.
Join us on Thursday, July 24 at 12pm ET as Kathy Zhu, Founder and CEO of Streamline AI and former AGC at DoorDash, and Ilan Hornstein, VP & Deputy General Counsel at 8×8, break down exactly how in-house teams can eliminate low-value tasks, free up time for higher-impact work, and prove their worth across the business. This isn’t theory—it’s a step-by-step guide to reshaping how Legal operates and is perceived.
Key Takeaways:
Identify and eliminate the repetitive, manual work draining your team’s time
Build a prioritization framework to focus on what actually matters
Capture data to shift Legal from anecdotal feedback to measurable business value
Reframe Legal’s role as a strategic partner—not a cost center
Justify headcount and budget with clear productivity metrics
Who Should Attend:
This session is designed for in-house counsel, legal operations professionals, and legal team leaders who are overwhelmed by constant demands, struggling to justify resources, or looking for a smarter way to scale Legal’s impact without burning out their teams.
