CORPORATE LAW DEPARTMENTS T he "new normal" has everyone's attention these days, and one of our authors opines that there is "significant and seemingly continuous pressure on corporate legal departments to find new ways of reducing legal costs while maintaining desirable outcomes." So, how do we get there? This white papers offers several ideas to support greater efficiencies, improved workflows and cost reductions — the paving stones on the road toward desirable outcomes. There's a great diversity of content to inform your decisions around virtual law firms, the impact of social media on legal and compliance issues, records management, discovery costs and so much more. We appreciate the excellent contributions of our authors. The varied content provides value to law departments and law firms alike!
