Agenda Day 1

8:50 AM The Legal Front Door - Ingesting Data to Inform Decision Making and Improve Efficiencies

In-house legal teams are plagued by the lack of data that supports what they are doing and when they are doing it. However, to improve inefficiencies within the department and make the business case for increased headcount, legal teams need data that tracks processes such as contract negotiation. It is based on this data that teams can begin to understand where their time is spent and the value of this work. It is also necessary to do this without increasing the amount of admin work that lawyers themselves must do. Therefore, in-house legal teams have been ingesting data and tracking processes through a ‘Legal Front Door’ as a starting place to begin to understand where efficiency gains can be made. 


- Learn how legal operations have collaborated with other functions such as finance and tax to create a front door that doesn’t just serve the legal team, but also their internal clients

- Explore what data is necessary to capture to make informed decisions 

- Hear how teams have interpreted this data and what decisions they have made to make immediate efficiency gains.
