Their role has expanded beyond traditional tasks like contract review and risk mitigation as they have become strategic partners, helping their organisations navigate complex challenges and enabling growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demonstrating the value of the legal function to the wider business, however, can be a challenge. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anastasia-evans-0a848ab4\">Anastasia Evans<\/a>, Group General Counsel and Company Secretary at\u202fIFX Payments,\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/dipali-sahni-0088662\">Dipali Sahni<\/a>, General Counsel at DEMICA and\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ehsan-haque-3043a725\/\">Ehsan Haque<\/a>, Head of UK Legal and Compliance at Laser Digital weigh in on how legal teams can effectively showcase their strategic impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reframe-the-perception-of-legal\">Reframe the perception of legal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first steps in demonstrating the strategic value of the legal function involves shifting the perception of the in-house legal team from a cost centre to a critical and value-creating function. This change in mindset is vital, as many businesses still struggle to see the team as an asset that contributes to revenue generation and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anastasia Evans explains, \u201cReframe the perception of legal from a necessary evil to a critical function that creates value for the organisation.\u201d According to Evans, the key lies in showcasing how they impact a business\u2019 objectives, such as expanding into new markets, launching new products or driving overall growth. \u201cHighlight how the legal team&#8217;s work directly enables the company to achieve its strategic objectives,\u201d she advises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-educate-the-business-on-the-legal-team-s-value\">Educate the business on the legal team\u2019s value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond contract review and risk mitigation, the legal function offers a wealth of expertise that can significantly benefit the broader organisation. Evans explains: \u201cShowcase the legal team\u2019s expertise in areas like risk management, regulatory compliance, corporate governance and strategic advisory. Demonstrate how the legal team\u2019s proactive counsel helps the business navigate complex challenges and capitalise on opportunities.\u201d Ehsan Haque echoes this, adding, \u201cIt&#8217;s important to illustrate how the legal team&#8217;s work reduces the overall business risk and workload for other departments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By educating the business on the full scope of the legal team&#8217;s capabilities, in-house counsel can reframe the perception of their function and position themselves as strategic partners rather than mere overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Showcase the legal team\u2019s expertise in areas like risk management, regulatory compliance, corporate governance and strategic advisory.

Demonstrate your willingness to be pragmatic, commercial and solution-oriented, rather than just a roadblock.\u201d Dipali Sahni agrees: \u201cBuild strong relationships and goodwill with key business stakeholders. Showcase your understanding of the business and your willingness to be a team player,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By building trust and credibility through consistent, high-quality support, the legal team can position itself as an indispensable asset to the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quantify-the-legal-team-s-impact\">Quantify the legal team\u2019s impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gathering data and using metrics to demonstrate the legal team\u2019s impact can underpin the case for the legal function\u2019s importance to the wider business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evans advises, \u201cQuantify the value the legal team provides, such as cost savings or revenue generated. Use data and metrics to show the business impact of the legal function.\u201d Haque agrees, explaining, \u201cWhat I\u2019m doing at the moment is ensuring that the key revenue-generating functions are closely aligned with the legal team&#8217;s efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By collecting and presenting tangible evidence of the legal team\u2019s contributions, in-house counsel can build a compelling business case for the resources and support they need to scale their function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advocate-for-the-resources-you-need\">Advocate for the resources you need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As organisations grow, so too must the legal function. In-house counsel should advocate for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/our-specialisms\/in-house-legal\/\">hiring an in-house legal team<\/a> required to support the company\u2019s priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evans stresses: \u201cDemonstrate how additional headcount or technology investments will enable the legal team to better support the company\u2019s growth and strategic priorities.\u201d Sahni adds, \u201cPosition new hires as enablers of the company\u2019s goals, not just overhead. Emphasise how the legal team\u2019s ability to scale will help the business avoid bottlenecks and maintain its competitive edge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/market-insight\/in-house\/scaling-up-an-in-house-legal-team\/\"> Building an in-house legal team from scratch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cultivate-a-culture-of-continuous-learning\">Cultivate a culture of continuous learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a rapidly changing business environment, it\u2019s vital for the legal team to remain agile and innovative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evans advises, \u201cEncourage a culture of continuous learning and development, where team members are empowered to take on stretch assignments and expand their skill sets.\u201d Sahni also stresses the need for flexibility, noting, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be able to handle anything that comes your way. Whether it\u2019s employment law, pensions or any other area, be ready to pick it up and handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By fostering a growth mindset, in-house counsel can ensure their function remains capable of meeting the ever-evolving needs of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Demonstrating the strategic value of the legal function requires a multifaceted approach. As Haque aptly puts it, \u201cIf you build the relationship, then you can effectively communicate what you want done, how you want it done and also translate your vision for how you want the team to operate to the people working with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This holistic approach is key to unlocking the strategic value of the in-house legal function, ensuring it is seen not just as a reactive service but as a proactive partner in driving business growth and success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n\t<div class=\"hd-block hd-block-author\" id=\"block_9d052b04ec3e9006d3c068c6f9fdae9f\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"eyebrow-group\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"hd-block-job__title is-style-eyebrow eyebrow-group__title\">Author<\/h3>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"cards cards--people\">\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"card card--person post-15513 hd_person type-hd_person status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry hd_person_sector-banking-and-financial-services hd_person_seniority-director-group-manager hd_person_specialism-in-house hd_person_location-uk\" id=\"block_9d052b04ec3e9006d3c068c6f9fdae9f-person-15513\">\n\n\t<div class=\"card--person__inner\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"card__image-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/nl\/consultants\/asha-morzaria\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/01\/Asha-Morzaria-300x300.jpg\" class=\"card__image test\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, (max-width: 781px) 50vw, (max-width: 1023px) 40vw, (max-width: 1200px) 25vw, 370px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/01\/Asha-Morzaria-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/01\/Asha-Morzaria-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/01\/Asha-Morzaria-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/01\/Asha-Morzaria.jpg 1000w\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__titles\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"card__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/nl\/consultants\/asha-morzaria\/\">Asha Morzaria<\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"card__subtitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorroot.com\/nl\/consultants\/asha-morzaria\/\">Director | Banking and Financal Services<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__location\">UK<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__email\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"card__contact-link card__contact-link--email\" href=\"mailto:ashamorzaria@taylorroot.com\">ashamorzaria@taylorroot.com<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__tel\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"card__contact-link card__contact-link--tel\" href=\"tel:+442074152828\">+44 20 7415 2828<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card__linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"card__contact-link card__contact-link--linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/search\/results\/all\/?heroEntityKey=urnlifsd_profileACoAAAODSHwBF1d236ph46BNNJUb_ypsAwJOMWQ&amp;keywords=ashamorzaria&amp;origin=RICH_QUERY_SUGGESTION&amp;position=0&amp;searchId=730e275f-0057-44c6-94c0-cd1c3871cdad&amp;sid=8wQ\">Connect<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<!-- Banner -->\n\n\n<div class=\"hs-cta-embed hs-cta-simple-placeholder hs-cta-embed-274773364927\"\n  style=\"max-width:100%;
