Clients tell us that they need their legal teams to focus on providing strategic insight and advice as their businesses face unprecedented change and new challenges. At the same time, we know that legal teams’ budgets are under pressure as businesses look to control costs. GCs and Heads of Legal are looking at their total cost of legal and for their trusted legal providers to step up and help them meet these challenges.
