Stakeholder Snapshot
General Counsel (GCs) are navigating big-picture business goals, evolving compliance demands, and board-level expectations. To gain alignment, legal ops must:
- Translate the company’s strategic vision into legal priorities
- Identify what success looks like through your GC’s lens
- Tailor your metrics and reporting to meet leadership expectations
Pro tip: Ask your GC how they want progress reported — and how they’ll know if your project succeeded.
Your internal team has the clearest view of what’s working — and what’s not. Use their feedback to:
- Find friction points ripe for automation
- Shadow team members to understand current workflows
- Co-create solutions that improve efficiency and morale
You’ll also uncover high-impact wins that earn fast ROI.
Ask yourself:
- Are bottlenecks due to volume or complexity?
- Could a workflow platform reduce back-and-forth?
Legal touches nearly every part of the organization, from Sales to IT to Procurement. When legal processes lag, everyone feels it. The checklist helps you:
- Connect legal ops metrics to business outcomes
- Partner with IT for smarter, faster rollouts
- Communicate legal’s value to the entire organization
Real alignment creates real efficiency.
Your technology stack should make life easier, not more complicated. Use the checklist to:
- Evaluate which tools fit your long-term strategy
- Vet new vendors for ROI, security, and integration
- Ask the right questions to avoid tool sprawl
Remember: The best vendors offer flexibility, listen to feedback, and grow with your goals.
