10:45 AM - 12:00 PM CT
Location: Grand Ballroom - Salon I
Legal Operations is no longer a back-of-the-house function - it's a strategic partner and force. This interactive session will explore how Legal Ops professionals can elevate their impact by fostering trust-based, data-driven partnerships with corporate executives. Through real-world case studies, rapid-fire breakout prompts, and role-playing scenarios, we'll tackle how to become fluent in the language of the business, align legal priorities with corporate objectives, and influence decisions at the highest levels. Attendees will examine their executive presence, recalibrate their messaging for business leaders, and walk away with a toolkit for stakeholder alignment that works.
