Content of Legal Department Reports

Understand the needs of your audience and what makes them tick. Then make sure the content of your legal reports are customized to better engage their interest and display the Legal Department's value in monitoring, achieving and reporting on, stakeholder goals.

It's important to ensure that you're prioritizing the content that is most relevant to the interests of your target audience. 

This could include your reporting leaning toward legal matters themselves, budget, resourcing, risk profiles or strategic value, depending upon the audience you're targeting and their key concerns.

Cadence for sending in-house legal reports

Cadence is all about the method of reporting based on your audience type.

Different audiences require a different communication rhythm or cadence. These factors change in accordance with the needs of the different audience groups.
