Phillip Norah (General Counsel for Aggregate Industries) joins Stephanie Hamon (Head of Legal Operations Consulting at Norton Rose Fulbright) to delve into strategic planning.
They discuss the difficulties of strategic planning when legal functions are too busy fighting fires. However, Phillip suggests breaking strategy into smaller chunks, which you can ‘chip away at’.
They also focus on the importance of aligning with the business and its ambitions rather than simply developing a legal strategy in isolation.
