Maximizing Value:
Eliminating Waste Through
Legal Process Excellence
Law firms are witnessing the rapid evaporation
of market share. Why?
Corporate clients are insourcing more of their legal services, corporate
legal departments are reducing or converging the number of their outside
counsel, and alternative service providers are bleeding away commodity legal
services. In many cases, the driving force for these changes is unpredictable
legal fees caused in part by law firm inefficiency.
