About this event:

Legal has a bad reputation. The Department of No. The bottleneck. The team that slows deals. It's unfair, and it's fixable.

The most effective legal leaders know that influence isn't earned by saying "yes" to everything. It's earned by building trust, speaking the language of the business, and demonstrating measurable value.

Join Irene Liu, Executive Director of the Stanford Law School AI Initiative and Founder & CEO of Hypergrowth GC, and JoAnna Nicholson, Chief Legal Officer at NAPA Anesthesia, for a candid conversation on how modern legal leaders can reposition their teams as strategic business partners.

Drawing on Irene's experience scaling legal functions through hypergrowth at Checkr and Hopin, alongside JoAnna's unique path from a decade in sales to leading legal in one of healthcare's most complex environments, they'll share a practical framework for changing how legal is perceived.

Using a simple ABC approach, they'll explore how to Activate the right systems and playbooks, Benchmark the metrics that matter most to the business, and Communicate legal's impact in language executives understand. Along the way, they'll discuss the KPIs modern legal departments track, how to build credibility across the organization, and how to move beyond the "bottleneck" label for good.

You'll leave with a practical playbook for proving legal's value, strengthening your influence, and positioning your team as an indispensable driver of the business.
