GC: Making the Business Case for Investments and Headcount

 New legal and compliance requirements. Increased cost pressure on law departments.  In-house lawyers stretched to capacity.  How can general counsel secure investments needed to address new requirements and maintain their teams? 

 

As the current health and economic crisis continues to reshape business norms, now, more than ever, is the time for in-house leaders to build a defensible business case for the legal department’s operating model, including additional headcounts. 

 

We examined the following themes for APAC general counsel:

• Getting on the front foot: why numbers and data matter 

• How to best articulate the legal team’s cost, quality and value 

• Creating a data-based business case with actionable insight to support investment requests
