Tech GCs reveal their top concerns

Scaling legal
September 12, 2019

The results are in. We surveyed 30 legal counsel at high-growth tech companies to find out what keeps them up at night. Spoiler alert: it's *scaling legal process*

If the sole aim of your company is to grow by several multiples in revenue in a calendar year, what does that do the priorities of the legal team? Vendor consolidation, cutting costs, change management - these are some of the perennial concerns that general counsel face at large enterprises, and they come up in the in-house surveys year after year. But are they still relevant at high-growth tech companies without legacy processes to undo? 

There was only one way to find out - so we asked them. 

Over three months earlier this year we spoke to 30 GCs, CLOs, Heads of Legal and other senior legal counsel at high-growth tech businesses all over the world. Now, in partnership with the premier law firm for disruptive, world-changing companies - Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (WSGR) - we're ready to launch the report on what we found. 📊👇

Dive in to find out how tech GCs feel about issues like scaling legal process, tooling and technology, internationalization and more. Understanding these concerns is absolutely core at Juro - the high-growth businesses we work with, like Datadog, Skyscanner and Deliveroo, have particular needs when it comes to legal operations and process. I'm grateful to all our respondents for taking part in the survey - I hope you find it interesting, and let us know if its findings chime with your experiences.
