Having a panel of law firms that you regularly work with helps increase your bargaining power as the customer and also improves the relationship between both parties. However, in keeping many stakeholders happy both internally and externally it can sometimes be neglected to prioritise the benefits of your own organisation. This session will collaboratively explore how to ensure you are always working effectively with your panel and getting the most out of them every time. 

• Explore how different organisations select their panel and what factors they deem as important to ensure you’re missing anything
• Discuss how other legal teams have nurtured the relationships with their panel to ensure the law firms have a greater understanding of your day-to-day business and the organisation's ethics
• Debate the difference in contracts between your panel firms and alternative legal service providers and when to leverage the right provider
