As legal departments evolve, so do the strategies needed to structure teams and plan for leadership transitions. This program explores how department size impacts team design, talent development, and succession planning—whether you're a solo GC documenting processes for a future hire or part of a large legal team building a leadership pipeline. We’ll also highlight the strategic role external law firm counsel can play in supporting succession planning, from preserving institutional knowledge and mentoring rising in-house talent to advising on role requirements and providing stability during transitions. Learn how to align legal leadership with business strategy, assess critical competencies, and build continuity through effective internal and external collaboration. Whether you're planning your own transition or strengthening your team’s future, this session offers practical guidance for creating a strong, future-ready legal function.
