Using metrics to manage matters, spend, and deliver value
The data-driven approach to effective legal department management
In recent years, corporate law departments have faced pressures on numerous fronts. Workloads have increased as the demand for external counsel has shifted, bringing more work in house. As safeguarding has rapidly moved up the list of priorities, workloads have evolved dramatically. The need to demonstrate value to the wider organisation is as crucial as delivering vital legal services, and yet many legal departments have seen their budgets shrink.
Data-driven legal technology can be invaluable in helping to uncover and manage the value driven by the legal department, yet knowing exactly what to look for can be challenging, especially when there is so much at stake. In this paper, you will learn:
- How data-driven spend- and matter-management technology can help legal departments control their work and costs
- How and what metrics are used in legal department management.
- What features you should look for in a data-driven solution.
