Layoffs are an unfortunate reality in the business world. Throughout 2022, a perfect storm of factors — from inflation to supply chain disruptions to global conflicts — have pushed businesses to reduce operating expenses, often resulting in dramatic reductions in headcount. 

Legal teams large and small struggle with one universal issue: your reputation within your own company. It doesn’t matter how hard you work or how many hours you slave away serving the needs of every internal department, legal is often seen as an adversary, not an ally. What if there was a way you could turn that reputation around and ensure your legal team is a valued partner of the business? 

Legal Week is fast approaching (it’s March 20-23, 2023 in case you don’t already have it on your calendar) – and I’m excited to be presenting a CLE-eligible emerging technology session along with my friend, and “Contracts Queen,” Roma Khan of Crush Contracts.
