11:55 AM PANEL DISCUSSION: THE GOLDEN RATIO EQUATION - BALANCING IN-HOUSE CAPABILITIES AND OUTSIDE COUNSEL ENGAGEMENT

Resource constraints and cost pressures continue to inhibit in-house counsel. Legal and compliance teams must find a new balance between internal legal work and outside counsel reliance, without impacting the quality of work delivered. Legal technology, streamlined processes, and enforcing outside counsel guidelines could help reduce spend externally. However, with limited resources, is it best to invest heavily upfront in your team’s headcount and legal technology or continue to pay the rising costs of outside counsel? 

  • Explore how bringing more work in-house could enable your legal and compliance team to be more agile and able to pivot to manage your changing regulatory obligations
  • Hear how some legal teams are utilizing an effective blend of alternate legal services and legal technology to reduce reliance on outside counsel
  • Discuss the converse, and hear how one legal team has flourished using outside counsel, improving their relationship and innovating their fee structure
