Inside the Mind of the CFO: Understanding the CFO / Lawyer Relationship

Thank you to the participants of our survey on CFO / Lawyer Relationships in October 2010. This survey was instrumental in creating our has helped to create our presentation (see below).

We are currently visiting Law firms to discuss our findings, and the discussions we are having are allowing us to better understand the CFO / Lawyer dynamic.

The most interesting result of the survey was that CFOs felt that outside Legal counsel was called in for advice in the beginning stages of a Strategic Process. Lawyer I have spoken with were surprised by this survey result - they generally felt that they were called in as the plan was about to be finalized, or once it was already finalized.

As you review the presentation below, are there any questions you have that you would like clarification on or comments that would be beneficial to you? If so, please comment below or via my About.me profile.
