The Contract Is Signed. Now What? Measuring Legal’s Real Impact for In-House Counsel

A contract being signed is usually treated as the finish line, but for the business, it’s where the real work begins — once an agreement is executed, someone still has to deliver on the commitments, manage obligations, track key dates, and make sure the value Legal negotiated actually makes its way into the business, yet most legal teams have limited visibility into what happens after signature. Join us on Tuesday, December 8, at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT as Akshay Verma, Chief Operating Officer at SpotDraft, moderates a senior-level conversation with Ron Bell, Chief Legal & Administrative Officer at Collective Health, and Noah Gold, General Counsel and Head of Public Policy at Prism Data, about what Legal’s impact looks like after the contract leaves the queue. Key Takeaways: The Post-Signature Gap: Where important contractual obligations, commitments, and protections get lost once a deal moves past execution and into the business Beyond Volume Metrics: Why counting contracts reviewed and turnaround time no longer proves Legal’s value to the rest of the business Connecting Legal to Outcomes: How to tie contract terms to the business results leadership actually cares about Building Post-Signature Ownership: What it takes to make sure someone is accountable for obligations after the ink dries Making the Business Case: How to frame Legal’s post-signature work in terms finance and the C-suite will act on Who Should Attend: General counsel, deputy and associate GCs, and legal operations leaders who want to move Legal’s story beyond deal volume and speak more directly to business impact.
