Decisions that deliver: turning legal ops roadmaps into reality

Translating plans into action across people, process, and technology

Most legal teams don’t struggle because of a lack of technology. They struggle because decisions are made before workflows, priorities, and outcomes are fully understood.

Industry professionals from EY and Onit, Inc., along with your peers, will share a practical approach to legal operations maturity, grounded in EY’s roadmap. We’ll focus on how to prioritize the right initiatives, sequence decisions effectively, and avoid common pitfalls along the way.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Use legal ops roadmaps to prioritize next‑step decisions
• Rethink outside counsel management with outcome driven RFPs that focus on outcomes, not features
• Expose the potential hidden costs of fragmented legal tech, from data silos to duplicate work
• Align technology choices to improved operating models

You’ll also hear real-world perspectives from legal teams navigating these challenges today.

Learning objectives

Identify (1) the components of a legal operations maturity roadmap used to prioritize initiatives (2) outcome‑based approaches to evaluating legal technology and outside counsel management decisions, and (3) operational and cost risks associated with disconnected legal systems and misaligned workflows.
