Plenty of room for improvement in the legal function, but you don’t know where to begin?
In the final episode of this series with Norton Rose Fulbright, Stéphanie Hamon (Head of Legal Operations Consulting) answers this dilemma.
Her first piece of advice? Understand the extent of the possible. Carry out an audit, speak to the team, and create a wishlist.
Stephanie also emphasises alignment to the company strategy, and moving away from viewing things as ‘just legal’ towards viewing legal as a business partner.
In previous episodes, Stephanie has shared advice on getting started with legal operations, feeling less overwhelmed with legal tech and creating an organised legal function.
