GLS Legal Dept Efficiency Audit™

How efficient is your legal team?

The Problem

The demands on your legal department exceed its resources.

Related challenges include:

much more is expected with much less
justifying your teams' value to the business
you are/or will soon be subjected to KPIs
business transformation programs increasingly include legal
greater scrutiny is being placed on how the external budget is spent
constant busyness makes it hard to undertake efficiency initiatives
as team pressure increases, so too does team member churn
old style legal department management is no longer as effective
law firms don't want you becoming more self sufficient

Failing to explore efficiency improvements yourself is a great reason for the CFO to find someone to do it.

The GLS Solution

GLS Legal Department Efficiency Audit™ helps you maximise the productivity yield of your existing legal team resources.

By auditing potential inefficiency scenarios in light of benchmark data, we are able to identify practical productivity optimisation strategies.

Our optimisation solutions are intentionally pragmatic and backed by performance data that speak to productivity strategies that actually work.

Phased implementation, light touch “pinch point” and “minimum in/maximum out” spot recommendations are preferred to increase adoption rates.

There are no ‘negative’ findings – just blueprint recommendations for you and your to team to achieve better, more, faster and cheaper.

GLS Legal Department Efficiency Audit™ allows you to face the future on your own terms and increase the strategic relevance of your team.

Problem solved.
