Transforming Legal Operations with Strategic Partners: Rethinking the Operating Model

About the Event

“Legal operations are no longer about doing more with less — it’s about doing better with purpose”. – Steve Harmon

The legal function is evolving from traditional cost centre to a strategic enabler of business value in financial organisations. It is modernising its workflows, driving efficiency and scalability while moulding legal activity to suit regulatory and broader business goals. This evolution is particularly evident in sectors such as asset management, banking, and private equity.

The legal teams are also navigating a sea change in documentation processes, regulatory expectations and operational models. As the pressure to optimise costs and improve efficiency mounts, the fraternity is increasingly turning to strategic partners to ease the transition.

Acuity Knowledge Partners is proud to host a panel of senior industry leaders, who will delve into real-world success stories and actionable insights for modernising legal operations. They will share practical insights and collaboration strategies – building resilient frameworks, leveraging technology, managing regulatory complexity, offshoring and more – that is shaping the future of the legal function.

Key takeaways:

• Deep dive on how to consolidate legal operations via robust documentation strategies spanning fund documents, enterprise agreements, ISDA/GMRA structures and governance models to enable faster, smarter decision-making.
• Gain insights into proactive compliance strategies that address evolving regulations, including Form ADV/PF filings, as well as Basel III/IV and multi-jurisdictional requirements.
• Discover how AI, automation and secretarial workflow tools are streamlining routine legal tasks while enhancing data security and regulatory compliance.
• Hear how strategic offshoring can reduce costs, ensure service continuity and help scale legal operations without compromising quality. Understand how to unlock flexibility and tap specialised expertise through outsourced legal services.

This webinar is ideal for:

• General Counsels and Legal Heads
• Legal Operations Leaders
• Compliance and Risk Officers
• COOs and Transformation Leads in Financial Services
