Operational efficiency as a strategic initiative: Insights for corporate counsel

In today's fast-paced corporate environment, in-house counsel face numerous challenges that can hinder their ability to provide efficient and effective legal support to their organizations. One of the major hurdles encountered is the need to juggle multiple tasks and topics simultaneously or operational efficiency. In-house counsel must be able to quickly shift back and forth between different subjects – such as risk management, compliance monitoring, contract management, and regulatory developments – ensuring that they can handle whatever legal matters cross their office thresholds. This constant juggling act requires them to have access to innovative solutions that can enhance their work and enable them to navigate the complex legal landscape confidently.

Old habits are hard to break.

It's understandable. Change can be difficult. That doesn't mean it's not worth it. Think back to law school where spending hours conducting in-depth research was mandatory. Fast forward to now when time is a limited commodity. In-house counsel faces the challenge of balancing what they were taught then with the need for efficient and effective legal support that their organizations require now. While they can conduct extensive research, it's important to recognize there are options beyond traditional research methods at their disposal. They can leverage those solutions to streamline the research process and allow them to focus on other critical tasks, without compromising the quality of the information.
