LEGAL SPEND MANAGEMENT & OPTIMISATION SERVICES
We see legal spend management differently than others
The old way of managing legal spend no longer cuts it!
Managing legal spend should not just be about operating in siloed, disconnected ways and simply negotiating lower rates with your firms and saving a few pounds.
To us, legal spend management is a framework for controlling spend using data, automation and workflows in an iterative and streamlined way to make better decisions and achieve faster results. We call this agile legal spend management.
Adding agility to spend management
Eliminate manual processes and human error – Remove the most painful elements of your manual processes by automating areas such as spend reporting, billing approvals and onboarding.
Positive spend culture – Agile spend management empowers users from across the business to practice prudent spend culture.
Enhanced collaboration and communication – Greater levels of collaboration lead to increased productivity and is a key component of agile spend management.
Flexible and responsive planning – Teams adopting agile spend management realise faster results by managing their work in smaller strategic initiatives.
Real-time insights – Instead of utilising yearly spend data, agile teams gain spend visibility in real time and have access to externally available data such as benchmarking for deeper insights.
Faster time-to-value – Instead of going for “big-bang” annual savings targets, agile spend management adopts an incremental savings approach
What's you priority?
Visibility into legal spend is essential for any legal department. We use powerful analytics to provide greater transparency into what you spend on legal services and to identify additional savings opportunities.
Maintaining your valuable relationships with outside counsel can be difficult when trying to reduce legal spend. Our seasoned spend management experts will implement processes that maximise savings opportunities whilst ensuring relationships remain strong.
Many traditional e-Billing systems lack the capability to effectively track supplier performance and costs. We use spend analysis and data science to provide greater insight into your vendors.
Reviewing and processing legal invoices to ensure compliance and accuracy is a time consuming task. We help digitise and simplify internal billing processes freeing up valuable lawyer time. We also offer a fully managed invoice processing and review service.
Using powerful legal spend analytics to help identify savings opportunities and optimise costs
Legal billing guideline compliance plays an important part in the success of a legal department’s overall spend management strategy. Our bill review solution guarantees compliance with your guidelines and delivers significant savings to your bottom line.
With spend and performance data often distributed between a large number of systems, across many different geographical locations and business entities it is important to have a single consolidated view. Our analytics and data science team create powerful, interactive spend dashboards that can be deployed across your legal team.
At the heart of spend management is technology and data. We'll help you select, implement and optimise software to drive your spend management programme.
