Legal has fought hard for a seat at the table. The next question is more uncomfortable… what value does it create once it gets there?
If 86% of General Counsel believe Legal drives business success, but only 17% of the C-suite agrees, the problem is no longer access. It is credibility.
The future GC will not be judged merely by disputes avoided, contracts reviewed or compliance maintained. They will be judged by whether the business made better decisions because Legal was in the room.
That is the real test of strategic relevance.
