TORONTO, ON – February 13, 2026 – CBA In-House Lawyers is pleased to share the launch of "Operational Efficiency Made Simple: From Cost Savings to KPI Clarity," a four-part webinar series developed in partnership with Septeo Legal Suite for senior in-house lawyers and general counsel.
The comprehensive program addresses the growing pressure on legal teams to demonstrate value beyond cost control while optimizing operations through strategic technology implementation. Registration is now available for the series designed to help legal departments unify operations, deliver meaningful KPIs, and drive both cost savings and strategic impact.
Addressing Critical Performance Management Needs
The series recognizes that legal teams face increasing demands to prove their business value while managing complex operational challenges. The program teaches participants to define and track KPIs that demonstrate legal's real business impact, use modular and scalable tools to support growth and change, turn AI and knowledge management into performance drivers, and connect legal operations with organizational change management through better metrics.
Throughout the series, participants will learn how flexible, scalable platforms can streamline workflows, reduce costs, improve knowledge retention, and align legal operations with broader business objectives. The program is specifically designed for senior in-house lawyers and general counsel responsible for operational strategy and performance measurement.
Comprehensive Four-Session Program Structure
- What Gets Measured Gets Managed: KPIs That Reveal Legal's Strategic Value (available on-demand) serves as the foundational session, introducing how to use digital tools to streamline intake, automate reporting, and align KPIs with business goals. The session focuses on which metrics matter most to improve collaboration, guide decision-making, and position legal as a trusted strategic partner.
- Why Modularity and Scalability are Game Changers for Legal Departments (February 24, 2026) explores how technology must evolve with legal departments.

- Retain the Brain: AI and Knowledge Management (May 5, 2026) addresses the reality that AI effectiveness depends on the knowledge behind it.
