Unlocking Efficiency: How In-House Legal Teams Can Rethink Their Supply Chain
Legal teams are under constant pressure to do more with less. One powerful way to meet this challenge is by rethinking how you provide legal services through your legal supply chain.
The way legal teams deliver services may not be the most efficient. Meeting today’s demands can require new skills, additional resources and faster turnaround times than ever before. That’s where your legal supply chain becomes critical - it determines how flexibly and effectively your legal team can respond.
Rather than seeing this as a constraint, forward-thinking legal teams can view it as an opportunity: to reimagine how they work, to serve their organisations better, and set a new standard for the delivery of legal services.
Rethinking Your Legal Supply Chain: What Are Your Next Steps?
Your legal supply chain is likely to have been carefully designed, but over time, it will have evolved organically because of shifting demands and organisational needs. When was the last time you stepped back and reviewed it?
A legal supply chain review is your chance to ensure it reflects the current reality of your team’s work. Here are some key questions to guide your thinking:
Is your team being used to its full potential?
Are your team members being deployed on high-value work that matches their expertise, or are they regularly pulled onto tasks that don’t deliver strategic impact?
Are your external legal partners adding real value?
Whether law firms or ALSPs, are they bringing legal expertise, clear processes, and smart use of technology to deliver fast, efficient, and cost-effective support to your team?
Are you using data to drive decisions?
Do you know what legal matters are currently outsourced? Can you track their status? Are you prepared for forthcoming regulatory changes?
Can your legal supply chain enhance your organisation?
Do your supply chain partners work with your team to allow you to simplify, systemise and automate your legal work where appropriate, allowing your team to stay focused and agile?
If your answers to these questions reveal any gaps or areas for improvement, it’s a signal that your legal supply chain may be ready for a refresh. The good news? You don’t have to tackle these challenges alone. With the right tools and partners, you can transform how your team operates, unlocking capacity, improving business outcomes, and delivering futureproofed legal services.
