Operational Harmony: Aligning Outside Counsel, Data, and Tech for Stronger Outcomes (Jan. 15, 2026)
Includes a Live Web Event on 01/15/2026 at 2:00 PM (EST)
In-house teams manage a constant stream of matters, updates, documents, and metrics—and the tools meant to help often add more noise than clarity. Too often, information lives in scattered places, status updates require detective work, and outside partners operate on a different wavelength than your legal department.
Join this webcast for a practical discussion on building a more seamless, efficient operating rhythm with your outside counsel. This session will focus on clear, actionable ways to reduce friction, improve visibility, and strengthen collaboration.
Key Takeaways:
1. How to transform fragmented data and matter activity into clear, decision-ready insights
2. How to implement technology and workflows that genuinely streamline (rather than complicate) your day-to-day
3. How to align outside counsel as a true extension of your legal ops function—with greater transparency, consistency, and control
