Blog: Building a Modern Legal Team
What Does a Modern Legal Team Actually Look Like?
A modern legal team isn’t just made up of lawyers. It’s a multidisciplinary function that includes operations specialists, technologists, data analysts, and embedded business partners, all working together to deliver legal services at scale.
The question is no longer how many lawyers you have, it’s whether your legal function is fit for purpose.
Elements of High-Performing Legal Teams
From our experience, top-performing teams share several traits:
Legal ops professionals improving systems and workflows.
Tech-enabled service delivery with intake, triage, and automation.
Data insights driving better resource allocation and forecasting.
Cross-functional roles that partner with the business proactively.
This isn’t about replacing lawyers, it’s about enabling them to work more efficiently, focus on high-value matters, and deliver measurable impact.
Modern legal teams are designed for agility, scalability, and business alignment.
