86% of GCs say legal contributes significantly. Only 17% of the C-suite agrees. A new TRI video series unpacks the gap and what GCs are doing about it.
At this point in the series, the 86/17 split has come up more than once. This installment goes straight to the source of that finding.
Zach Warren, the State of the Corporate Law Department report’s main author, digs into the visibility gap itself: why GCs and their C-suite bosses see such different pictures of legal’s contribution, and what that disconnect actually means for a department trying to close it. If you’ve been watching the earlier videos and found yourself wanting the person who wrote the report to just explain it directly, this is that video.
Warren doesn’t just restate the numbers here — he gets into why the gap exists in the first place, which is the part most GCs actually need to hear if they’re trying to do something about it rather than just cite it.
Catch the rest of the videos in this series here.
