Global gc academy

The Role of the GC and Legal Department

About

This Masterclass is part of the Global GC Academy and is delivered in collaboration with The Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London.

This masterclass explores how General Counsel can lead high-performing legal departments that operate as strategic business partners. With expanding expectations on legal leaders to shape culture, uphold governance, and drive value, GCs must redefine how the legal function is structured, resourced, and perceived. The session examines how to position the legal team for maximum enterprise impact, build strong internal credibility, and move from cost centre to value creator.

Topics include:
• The GC’s evolving strategic role
• Structuring the legal team for influence and effectiveness
• Enhancing the legal department’s credibility and visibility
• Training, development, and succession planning
• Collaborating with key business functions
• Budgeting to demonstrate value and impact
