Corporate legal departments are constantly challenged to reduce the unit cost of the legal function while at the same time ensuring full risk coverage for their organization. As a result, they must increase their productivity, weed out inefficiency, and minimize their need to outsource key, high-value work and processes to high-priced law firms.
Elegrity’s corporate law department consultants help legal teams analyze their overall workload and make strategic decisions about optimizing processes in ways that give in-house resources more bandwidth. In addition, we work with corporate law departments to identify the high-value, high-risk work that only your in-house team will be able to perform effectively. And we earmark the commoditized projects that will be more cost-efficient to outsource to firms that specialize in those areas. In the process, we help you manage workloads in ways that minimize risk.
With 20 years of experience working directly with both law firms and corporate legal departments, Elegrity has developed a deep understanding of corporate law business processes and related technologies. We understand that every investment you make must deliver an associated, measurable return. That’s why we recommend and implement corporate law solutions that automate and streamline your operations, enabling you to do more with fewer staff. These solutions can also help you manage the processes you choose to outsource to other organizations. We act as a liaison between the corporate legal team and the corporate IT team, translating the special needs of your law department into solutions the corporate IT department can support within the overall corporate technology framework.
When your corporate law department works with Elegrity to optimize and prioritize its workload, you’ll be in a much more favorable position to negotiate fixed fees and alternative fee arrangements for the processes you most commonly outsource to law firms. Major corporate legal teams have already partnered with us to achieve an impressive payback on their IT investment.
