In this special bonus episode, we bring you the live session hosted by Dino Elipoulos of Fulcrum GT at the Running Legal Like a Business conference in Las Vegas. Joined on stage by Marcelo Peviani (Equinix) and Robert (Bob) Haskins (Google), the panel explores how legal operations can learn from the transformation journeys of other industries such as IT, healthcare, and finance.

The discussion tackles:

• Why legal has lagged behind in digital transformation and how AI is changing the equation.
• Shifting legal from a “cost center” to a driver of competitive advantage.
• Building interoperable data models and operating frameworks that align with enterprise goals.
• The cultural and organizational changes needed for legal ops to scale and thrive.
• Practical strategies to move from reactive support to predictive, business-integrated value creation.

Packed with insights, real-world analogies, and forward-looking perspectives, this session highlights why now is legal’s true “digital turning point.”

This new mini-series from Fulcrum GT, released to coincide with the Running Legal Like a Business conference, is based on our latest white paper: Legal’s Digital Turning Point – From Cost Center to Competitive Advantage.

Together with Dino Eliopulos of Fulcrum GT, we explore the lessons IT’s digital revolution has to teach legal operations at their own inflection point today.

Across four episodes, we’ll examine how AI is becoming legal’s ‘internet moment,’ how vendor management lessons from IT can reshape the legal supply chain, and what a fully digitized legal function of the future will really look like.

If you’re a legal leader, you’ll walk away with a roadmap to move your team from cost center to competitive advantage.

Fulcrum GT presents: Legal’s Digital Turning Point — The Podcast Mini-Series. And don’t forget — the full white paper is available now.

In the fourth and final episode, Thomas Pearson and Dino Eliopulos look ahead to what a fully digitized legal function will mean for the profession — culturally, technologically, and strategically.

Drawing on scenarios from Fulcrum GT’s white paper, the hosts discuss real-time integration, predictive analytics, and the embedding of legal intelligence directly into business workflows. They explore the cultural shifts required to fully embrace this transformation, from aligning incentives with business outcomes to reframing legal work as a source of growth and innovation.

Key takeaways:

• What the “future state” of a digital-first legal department looks like day-to-day.
• Why cultural change is as critical as technological change.
• How transparency, real-time platforms, and AI can free legal teams from low-value tasks and unlock their strategic potential.

This episode closes the mini-series with a bold vision: legal operations not as a back-office necessity, but as a true competitive differentiator.
