A program hosted by:

ACC Greater Philadelphia

“Optimizing the In-House Team”

Effective lawyering, operational efficiency, and business partnering are key strategic objectives for Chief Legal Officers. Which best practices lead to these outcomes? And how can CLOs and GCs demonstrate the value their team’s deliver to the organization?

Taimur Ghaznavi and David Saunders lead Konexo, Eversheds Sutherland’s consulting and alternative legal services provider. Over the last 12 years they have worked with dozens of GCs and CLOs globally, advising them on strategy, processes, target operating models, workload prioritization and technology implementations to support the optimization of their functions. Drawing on their experience working with these in-house legal teams, David and Taimur will lead over the course of lunch an interactive in-person session on optimizing the in-house team. The session will explore:

  • the characteristics and practices that most commonly lead to effective and efficient performance; and 
  • how CLOs and GCs can demonstrate the value of the in-house team to C-suite and other business stakeholders.
