      <title>OCM Maturity in Practice: How Bank of America Assessed and Advanced Its Outside Counsel Program (12 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;div align="center"&gt;
  &lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 30px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#5F7B87" face="Roboto Condensed, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"&gt;&lt;font color="#5F7B87" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Roboto Condensed"&gt;Buying Legal Council:&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Roboto Condensed"&gt;Webinar Series&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Roboto Condensed"&gt;&lt;img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-wacomponenttype="ContentDivider"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font color="#5F7B87" face="Roboto Condensed, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"&gt;&lt;font face="Roboto Condensed" style="font-size: 36px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OCM Maturity in Practice: How Bank of America Assessed and Advanced Its Outside Counsel Program&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

  &lt;p align="center" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#5F7B87" face="Roboto Condensed, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"&gt;&lt;font color="#5F7B87" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Roboto Condensed"&gt;August 12&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Roboto Condensed"&gt;th&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Roboto Condensed"&gt;at&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Roboto Condensed"&gt;11&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Roboto Condensed"&gt;am ET&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font color="#5F7B87" face="Roboto Condensed, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"&gt;&lt;img src="https://buyinglegal.com/resources/Pictures/Webinars/Aug12%20persuit%20Webinar.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

  &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Roboto Condensed&amp;quot;; color: rgb(95, 123, 135);" align="left"&gt;What does OCM maturity actually look like in practice? In this session, Maui Gevero, Director of Legal Advisory at PERSUIT, sits down with Ben Mallicote, Global Head of Outside Counsel Management at Bank of America, to unpack how one of the world's largest legal departments approached its own OCM maturity assessment, from the first "why are we doing this" conversation to the roadmap it produced.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Roboto Condensed&amp;quot;; color: rgb(95, 123, 135);" align="left"&gt;Ben will walk through the triggers that prompted the assessment, how his team scored themselves across each pillar (including where the debates happened), and the early wins that followed. He'll also share what he'd do differently and his advice for legal departments considering the same exercise.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="font-family: &amp;quot;Roboto Condensed&amp;quot;; color: rgb(95, 123, 135);" align="left"&gt;You'll leave with:&lt;/p&gt;
