Team Legal: The Unsuspecting Culture Champions, Law.com

In an article for Law.com, New Era Co-Founder Michelle Tyler challenges legal department leaders to take on the role of “culture champion” for their organizations.

“In recent years, the role of ‘Team Legal’ has been evolving,” Michelle writes. “Modern legal operators aren’t just reactive rule enforcers but transformative and proactive strategists who contribute to a company’s overall direction and success. They are emerging from behind closed doors and becoming increasingly involved in shaping and influencing more complex aspects of business. Areas like company culture, behavioral risk, empathetic leadership, and long-term vision are all being positively enhanced at the hands of lawyers.”
