The changing economic and political climate brings new challenges to managers tasked with leading their company's legal function. The key factor in this context is the shift of legal services from a reactive to a preventive management approach, premised on a partnership role concerning both internal and external clients. During the session, we will discuss various issues pertaining to a company's legal service, including how a legal head can become a business partner, the strategic nature of a legal head, methods and tools for fostering client-oriented legal staff, and whether the legal service should be an earning unit. Specifics surrounding the KPIs of the legal service and how to ensure effective interaction between the legal function and internal and external clients will also be covered?
