Make the legal department a strategic and indispensable business partner in the company

Legal operations consulting aims to make legal departments faster, more efficient and even more risk-aware. It is about transforming the legal department – away from a reactive, non-transparent service that is often perceived as slow and expensive, towards a forward-looking business partner.

The right strategy is essential for this evolution. We work with you to examine the impact of the strategies of the individual business areas on your services and identify the requests of tomorrow that are already emerging today. We then integrate these into a sustainable organisational model.

Well-designed processes are at the heart of fast, high-quality service. By analysing and redesigning current processes (with the help of technology), we achieve significant efficiency gains. We develop a reliable return on investment forecast for new measures to reduce budget constraints. And we work with you to implement effective KPIs for measuring the performance of the legal department.

In short, we reposition your lawyers – from back-end activities to a forward-looking, strategic function and an indispensable part of the decision-making process.

Our consulting services for legal departments include:

  • Target operating model for legal departments
  • Strategy development
  • Process design and optimisation
  • Benchmarking
  • Legal sourcing strategy
  • Outside counsel management
  • Legal risk management
  • Legal operations & tech maturity assessment (“LOM”-TM) & roadmap
  • KPI development & KPI dashboard
  • Governance
