    Three actions to transform your legal department and build enterprise capacity

    In-house legal teams are struggling to deliver value via the traditional “high-touch, one-to-one” model that centers around building the department’s capacity to support more business decisions. 

    To effectively cope with the growing demand of tasks, legal teams need to help build the company’s capacity to make better decisions. This new operating model requires three key changes to the department’s service, delivery and sourcing models: 

    1. Rationalize the service menu and identify the best-fit provider of each service. 
    2. Enable business ownership by codifying legal decision making to routinize legal work. 
    3. Build a cost-effective provider network by standardizing processes.
