Many in-house legal professionals go in-house to be involved in the big picture, see issues through to the end, and play an influential role in the success of an organization. These are opportunities private practice rarely provides.
But too often, legal teams feel overworked, stressed, reactive, and sometimes, unempowered by their tools and resources. In this environment, it can become hard to be a valued partner to the business and to focus on that high-value strategic work you came in-house to do.
The Certification provides the insights, tools, and behaviors necessary to become a Connected Legal Function – a legal team that optimizes productivity, engages meaningfully with the business, acts proactively, and maximizes its impact on the business.
It covers everything from soft skills like change management to more practical ones like how to design your intake system, all within an interactive platform with videos, quizzes, and downloadable templates to help you take action right away.

We will never tell you how to be a lawyer or how to do your job, but gone are the days when in-house lawyers are only experts in the law. The in-house legal team of today is multi-faceted, with an understanding of business, technology, operations, and leadership. The certification aims to get you there, all while helping you become more productive, efficient, and connected.
The certification is relevant to all in-house legal professionals, whether you’re the first General Counsel, a sole in-house counsel, an in-house lawyer in a larger team, a seasoned legal leader, or a Head of Legal Operations.
Whether you’re setting up a legal function from scratch, or are just looking for ways to optimize the performance of your legal team – no matter its size, this certification is for you!
Many in-house legal professionals go in-house to be involved in the big picture, see issues through to the end, and play an influential role in the success of an organization. But too often, legal teams feel overworked, stressed, reactive, and sometimes, unempowered by their tools and resources.
The 2023 In-house Legal Technology Report, a survey of over 500 legal professionals across the globe, backs this disconnection up with data. We found that 80% of respondents believe that time spent on manual daily activities takes time and effort away from working on larger business goals or affects their ability to deliver services in a timely manner.
In a world where our workloads are growing, and the breadth and complexity of that work is expanding – it is an inevitable sentence for a perpetuating cycle of overload and disconnect.
With our findings, we developed the Connected Legal Function framework – built to empower legal professionals to not only optimize performance, manage complexity, and deal with large volumes of work, but also maximize their connection with, and impact on, the business.

It’s all online, on-demand, and on your watch. No need to attend the same old networking events with stale scones, bitter coffee, and cheap wine just to check the box of getting your education in.
