OCM Maturity in Practice: How Bank of America Assessed and Advanced Its Outside Counsel Program

Buying Legal Council: Webinar Series

August 12th at 11am ET

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.

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.

You'll leave with:

• A real-world view of how the assessment plays out inside a legal department
• Practical, peer-tested advice for running your own assessment
• The confidence to apply the model at your organization
