Getting Control of Legal Spend: Implementing Modern Spend Management in Your Law Department
Overview
According to the recent Legal Department Operations Index from Thomson Reuters Institute, law departments are increasingly in a tight spend box. Most legal teams are seeing an increase in the volume of legal matters. Nearly two-thirds report flat or declining budgets, and a majority are seeing no new attorneys hired. Controlling outside counsel costs is by far the top priority, in an environment with AmLaw 100 firms making historically high rate increases for two years running.
But your department can get out of that box, with a modern, scalable, integrated spend management solution. Join us for an informative webinar about the advantages a modern spend solution will give you, and how other departments have moved from manual or homegrown systems to world-class spend management.
You will learn how to:
- Know when your department is ready to make the leap
- Scope your need and pick the right solution
- Build support with internal partners
- Implement quickly and successfully
- Plan a roadmap to keep improving in Year Two and beyond
