Building a Future-Ready Legal Strategy and Operations Team

Pure Storage’s legal department faced a major transformation under a new General Counsel. The team needed to shift from reactive service delivery to a proactive strategy while optimizing operations and establishing strong foundations for risk management and technology transformation.

Gartner supported Pure Storage by delivering workload assessments to identify how legal teams spent time and align resources to strategic priorities. Risk assessment surveys helped establish a consistent approach to enterprise risk management. A technology roadmap diagnostic provided a holistic view of legal technology tools, reducing silos and overlap while improving alignment with enterprise IT strategy.

With Gartner’s support, Pure Storage defined three multi year strategic priorities focused on workforce planning, risk mitigation, and technology transformation. The legal function shifted from reactive execution to a proactive operating model, ensuring the right talent was aligned to the right work. Technology optimization reduced tool redundancy and improved utilization while supporting broader corporate IT goals.
