As budgets tighten and workloads grow, legal ops leaders are rethinking resourcing from the ground up. The question isn’t just “do we hire?” but how: full-time, flex, outside counsel, technology vendors, or AI-enabled automation. This session will explore the future of legal resourcing in an era where both data and technology are reshaping the calculus of headcount and vendor decisions. We’ll cover how leading teams are balancing permanent hires with flexible talent models, when to substitute outside counsel with interim support, and how to evaluate technology vendors and AI solutions without overpromising. Attendees will leave with a framework for smarter resourcing decisions, future-ready ops leadership, and aligning talent strategy with overall spend discipline.
