Panels empower legal teams to concentrate the subject matter knowledge their firms offer, bolster their bargaining power in price negotiations and manage valuable relationships effectively.  However, creating a panel program that achieves these goals is a delicate balance. Departments have to gather the right intelligence on firms, ensuring appropriate practice area, geographic and pricing coverage, carefully plan the structure and framework of their panels and effectuate change management.  In this webinar, legal operations leaders discuss their perspectives on panel programs. You’ll find out how large legal departments have stood up and maintained their panels, and the successes, challenges and lessons learned. The panelists will provide practical tips about the factors to consider before embarking on a new panel project, how to get buy-in from key stakeholders and best practices for a new implementation or enhancing an existing program.   ### Watch On-Demand Speakers ![Juanita Luna headshot - rounded square](https://resources.priorilegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Juanita%20Luna%20headshot%20-%20rounded%20square.png?width=250&height=250&name=Juanita%20Luna%20headshot%20-%20rounded%20square.png "Juanita Luna headshot - rounded square") ### Juanita Luna Managing Director, Luna Legal Ops (formerly with PG&E)  ![John Crawshaw headshot - rounded square](https://resources.priorilegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/John%20Crawshaw%20headshot%20-%20rounded%20square.png?width=250&height=250&name=John%20Crawshaw%20headshot%20-%20rounded%20square.png "John Crawshaw headshot - rounded square") ### John Crawshaw Legal Operations Manager, PNC ![Karen Helton headshot - rounded square](https://resources.priorilegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Karen%20Helton%20headshot%20-%20rounded%20square.png?width=250&height=250&name=Karen%20Helton%20headshot%20-%20rounded%20square.png "Karen Helton headshot - rounded square") ### Karen Helten Outside Counsel Senior Manager, Salesforce ![Basha Headshot Digest round_square](https://resources.priorilegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Headshots/Basha%20Headshot%20Digest%20round_square.png?width=250&height=250&name=Basha%20Headshot%20Digest%20round_square.png "Basha Headshot Digest round_square") ### Basha Rubin CEO & Co-Founder, Priori (moderator) ## More From Priori [![23-04-24-CLOC-Talk-Recap-Blog-Post](https://resources.priorilegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/23-04-24-CLOC-Talk-Recap-Blog-Post.jpg?width=2000&height=1044&name=23-04-24-CLOC-Talk-Recap-Blog-Post.jpg "23-04-24-CLOC-Talk-Recap-Blog-Post")](https://www.priorilegal.com/blog/5-considerations-before-starting-with-new-legal-tech) ##### Legal Operations and Generative AI: Preparing for a Sea Change [Read Now](https://www.priorilegal.com/blog/legal-operations-and-generative-ai-preparing-for-a-sea-change) [![23-09-28 Scout Overview Blog Post](https://resources.priorilegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/23-09-28%20Scout%20Overview%20Blog%20Post.png?width=1200&height=625&name=23-09-28%20Scout%20Overview%20Blog%20Post.png "23-09-28 Scout Overview Blog Post")](https://www.priorilegal.com/blog/scout-an-outside-counsel-platform-to-supercharge-your-data-with-ai) ##### Scout: An Outside Counsel Platform to Supercharge Your Data With AI [Read Now](https://www.priorilegal.com/blog/scout-an-outside-counsel-platform-to-supercharge-your-data-with-ai) [![23-06-14-CGI-Session-Blog](https://resources.priorilegal.com/hubfs/23-06-14-CGI-Session-Blog.jpeg "23-06-14-CGI-Session-Blog")](https://www.priorilegal.com/blog/next-frontier-of-legal-operations-dei-ai-outsourcing) ##### The Next Frontier of Legal Operations for DEI, AI and Outsourcing [Read Now](https://www.priorilegal.com/blog/next-frontier-of-legal-operations-dei-ai-outsourcing) - About Priori - [Talent Marketplace](https://www.priorilegal.com/talent-marketplace) - [Software](https://www.priorilegal.com/software) - [Case Studies](https://www.priorilegal.com/case-studies) - [About Us](https://www.priorilegal.com/about-priori-legal) - [Our Network](https://www.priorilegal.com/our-attorney-network) - [Trade Shows & Events](https://www.priorilegal.com/events) - [Press Releases & Media Coverage](https://www.priorilegal.com/about-priori/press) - [Blog](https://www.priorilegal.com/blog) - Resources - [Client Guide](https://docs.client.priorilegal.com/) - [Lawyer Guide](https://docs.lawyer.priorilegal.com/) - [Legal Topics](https://www.priorilegal.com/resources/legal-topics) - [Attorney Practice Areas](https://www.priorilegal.com/practice-areas) - [Law/Tech Companies](https://www.priorilegal.com/law-and-legal-tech-companies-on-priori) - [Diversity & Inclusion](https://www.priorilegal.com/resources/legal-topics/the-corporate-legal-department-diversity-and-inclusion) - [Industries Served](https://www.priorilegal.com/legal-for-industries) - [Legal Document & Form Learning Center](https://www.priorilegal.com/legal-forms-and-documents) ### Contact Priori Legal, Inc.
