Dentons In-House Solutions

With increasing pressure to demonstrate value and, in the constant competition for scarce resources, it is increasingly common for the C-Suite to expect the legal function to report against metrics to demonstrate contributions and momentum toward organizational objectives, both to secure budget and to address any misalignment between perception and reality of the legal team’s value to the business. We can help you identify the right metrics, support your reporting efforts and help refine your internal messaging to position the legal department as a strategic advisor and business enabler. 

The “more with less” challenge has led many law department leaders to evaluate their resourcing models, and assess whether the work is being handled by the right level of legal resource. We can help you assess which areas of work are ripe for optimization enabling the legal function to focus on high added-value strategic activities.

The strategic planning process provides the law department with a roadmap and vision for greater alignment with the business and to underscore where legal fits into the bigger picture. It enables you to understand, at a deeper level, what barriers or gaps exist between where you are today and where you want to be as a function and it becomes a thoughtful and methodical approach to getting key initiatives done across the department.
