Arbor Law’s Legal Operations Team will help your legal team to maximise and enhance productivity, reduce costs, streamline processes and focus on value creation: in short to do more with less.
Alongside ad-hoc solutions, we can also undertake a full and forensic analysis of your ‘As Is’ legal function, work with you to agree your ‘To Be’ state and put in place a plan to get there following which we will leverage Arbor’s expertise to deliver. Our plan will group these initiatives into those which ensure better service delivery, technology solutions, continuous improvement, people initiatives and good governance.
To help ensure buy-in from all levels of the business we can work with you to optimise the reporting matrix and strategy alignment and in so doing ensure that the business is as invested in the initiatives as you are.
From a broader business perspective, a successful Legal Operations programme should also translate into improved satisfaction from sales teams, accelerated contract turnaround times and better MI on live and in progress contracts (including contract value, termination dates).
We look forward to working with you to surface, define and ensure successful outcomes for your Legal Operations aspirations.
