The Modern In-House Legal Department: Unlock Resources by Demonstrating Alignment with Business and CFO Goals

Is your legal team struggling under the weight of increasing workloads, cost-cutting mandates, and a flood of ad-hoc requests? You’re not alone. Operational efficiency is the #1 priority for General Counsels and Chief Legal Officers in 2024, and for good reason—the old ways of working simply aren’t sustainable. To meet today’s demands, legal teams must shift from being seen as a cost center to a strategic business enabler.

Join us on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at 12pm ET / 9am PT as Wendy Chow, General Counsel, Cityblock Health, and Kathy Zhu, Co-Founder and CEO, Streamline AI, share practical strategies to streamline legal operations, optimize resources, and elevate your team’s strategic impact.

Discussion Topics Include:

• The Overload Epidemic: Why skyrocketing workloads and increasing demands are leading to job dissatisfaction and missed deadlines.
• The Cost Crunch: How legal teams can navigate mounting cost pressures while maintaining high-quality service.
• The Silent Killer of Efficiency – The Long Tail of Intake: Why optimizing legal intake beyond contracts (marketing compliance, privacy, employment, subpoenas, regulatory issues, etc.) is the biggest efficiency opportunity.
• Conquering the Chaos: Best practices for workflow optimization, triage, and prioritization to create a truly efficient legal engine.
• Unlocking OPEX Savings: Strategies to reduce costs across people, tools, and operations, freeing up resources for high-value work.
• Transforming Your Team: Empowering in-house legal professionals to drive business value and strengthen their role as strategic advisors.
