As organizations demand faster decisions and clearer accountability, legal departments are under pressure to move beyond static metrics and toward real-time legal intelligence. This session explores how leading GCs are leveraging data, technology, and financial insight to influence enterprise strategy, manage outside counsel relationships, and justify legal investment in a cost-conscious environment. Rather than focusing on dashboards alone, the discussion centers on how legal leaders turn information into influence—connecting operational data to business value in ways that resonate with finance, operations, and the board. Discussion topics include:

• Moving from retrospective metrics to forward-looking legal intelligence that informs business strategy
• Using financial and matter data to manage outside counsel expectations, rates, and value delivery
• Aligning legal technology and operations with broader enterprise goals to strengthen the GC’s strategic voice
