Top Quotes from this Webinar Highlight
What tools do general counsel use for legal budgeting?
What was legal department budgeting like in your first few years at Wattpad?
In my first year at Wattpad, I got handed a budget. My second year I took a hands-off approach and I paid for it and it was only my third year, which was, I finally figured out how to do it properly. So, if anyone on this panel is new to it or in a new role, reach out to your peers.
How early would you recommend reaching out to your peers?
I wish I had done it earlier. Um, because you know, you're, you're treated as a as a function like everyone else and expected to know what to do, but lawyers don't usually know what to do.
Do you have any advice for lawyers creating a budget for the first time?
If you're a lawyer and you're used to using word processing programs, you better get familiar with Google sheets because that's also a training that lawyer's don't often have. Eeverybody works off the same kind of spreadsheets. They're not gonna say oh, you're a lawyer. You're going to do your, your budgeting in Word.
