ILTACON 2015 Recap: Shared Practice Metrics for Law Firms and Legal Departments, Now and In 2020 - Cunningham


Listen Later

Description: Join us for part two of this continued discussion on
metrics and their uses in both law firms and legal departments to
illustrate value. Not simply a matter of profitability versus
efficiency, there are a variety of perspectives to consider in
determining the best methods and benchmarks for every department and
firm to utilize in creating, sustaining and even growing a successful
relationship.

From the original ILTACON 2015 session description: Law departments are
starting to run like businesses, with that comes an increased emphasis
on measuring performance against business goals. Collaboration in the
development of shared metrics is essential to drive effective
relationships and best-in-class legal operations. How can law firms and
legal departments work together to promote mutually beneficial
technology and metrics? What data points do law departments and firms
care about now; what will they care about in 2020?

Speakers:

Project Manager for UPS Corporate Legal Department Operations. He is a
