Managing Litigation Forum 2013
Reducing outside legal costs is the top concern of most in-house lawyers today, according to recent surveys. Ninety percent of General Counsel in one survey said they were under pressure from their finance director or equivalent to provide better value, efficiency and cost reductions. As these internal pressures mount on legal departments, legal project management and process improvement have become critical approaches to continue to provide value to internal clients. Our litigation series will explore how the principles of project management and process improvement can be applied to help corporate legal departments increase efficiency, reduce risk and minimize surprises.
A few years ago, managing legal matters in a company was a function of hiring outside counsel and their costs, helping to win a case or avoid litigation or otherwise deal with the legal issues affecting the business. Today, handling a successful matter is a balancing act of reducing legal spend year over year, managing many outside law firms, juggling the objectives and expectations of many internal stakeholders and helping ensure a profitable bottom line for your company. This series is designed specifically for in-house counsel, corporate counsel and general counsel. Listen to the experienced faculty of in-house counsel, outside counsel and consultants as they rely on collaborative problem solving and case studies to show the audience how to successfully apply these key approaches and principles to achieve greater success in their legal department efforts.
