Key takeaways
Close collaboration leads to impact
In-house legal teams do their best work when they’re in sync with business goals, not just tackling legal issues.
Recognition matters
Lawyers feel more valued when they’re acknowledged for their work, especially if it’s shared with the wider business.
Effective communication is key
For legal teams to thrive and avoid burnout, clear boundaries and good communication with business leaders are essential.
Annual reviews showcase contributions
Regular appraisals help in-house lawyers highlight their impact, align their work with business strategies and develop professionally.
Value propositions can change perceptions
By clearly explaining how they help the business grow and innovate, legal teams can shift from being considered a barrier to being viewed as strategic partners.
Embrace tech, but keep your humanity
While AI boosts efficiency, keeping a human touch is vital. Can AI give us time back so we can bring back the joy?
Data drives recognition
Using data in a smart way can show off the legal team’s true value to the rest of the business.
Building teams needs more than skills
Alongside professional skills, promoting work-life balance and career growth is crucial for building resilient legal teams.
