Streamlining and making corporate counsel’s lives easier translates into better value.
Unfortunately, clients report a 5% drop in the number of law firms adding value to the client experience. This may be the first sign of legal project management becoming more mainstream. Clients are thinking beyond project tools towards changes in work streams and work processes. The decline in the number of firms recognized for these changes can also be an early indicator of clients increasing their expectations for change at a rate faster than law firms can implement.
Fewer firms delivering this attribute means the law firms making these changes have found a source of potent advantage.
