Making the Business Believe in Legal: Metricizing Value
Monday, November 9, 2026, 1:40 PM - 2:40 PM

Discuss how to translate legal outcomes into the financial language your CFO and board actually understand. Build and improve your metrics infrastructure to sustain that conversation year over year.

  • Construct board-ready narratives around legal outcomes, litigation savings, risk avoided, deals enabled, that go beyond activity metrics like contracts reviewed or matters closed.
  • Understand how finance-driven leadership evaluates legal's value and what you need to change about how you track and report outcomes to speak that language credibly.
  • Walk away with a framework you can implement immediately, including the two or three metrics that have the most impact on how leadership perceives your department's contribution.
