The General Counsel’s guide to legal transformation

Transforming your legal function can be overwhelming. Get started with this simple guide.

Only a decade ago, the legal function was primarily responsible for providing legal advice (and charging the business accordingly). But while expert advice is still the order of the day, cost control, agility and maintaining a competitive advantage now combine to drive a more value driven agenda.

As the leaders of these new look legal departments, GCs face a further responsibility – ensuring their teams have access to the tools, technology and data that support more efficient legal operations.

Their resulting focus is threefold:

• Identify and implement the best available technology to streamline workflows, increase efficiencies and control costs
• Make the most of internal resources and encourage a strategic approach to the selection and engagement of external counsel
• Collect and analyse data to inform decision making and drive productivity across the board

But when you’re the one tasked with change, where do you start?

In this guide, we outline how legal teams are optimising their service delivery, how technology is supporting them, and how to craft a practical plan for your own team’s transformation.
