Welcome to Strategic Legal Advisor
06 February 2009
Brought to you by the team that launched Legal Week and Legal Director magazines, Strategic Legal Advisor enables legal departments to make smarter and better-informed purchasing decisions and law firms to better understand what their customers want.
At the core of Strategic Legal Advisor will be market-leading research, enabling you to benchmark your department’s procurement policy against your peers, evaluate best practice and ultimately to extract the greatest value from your external legal advisors.
Topics that will be covered by over the coming months include commoditisation, litigation funding, fees and fee arrangements, managing conflicts, legal process outsourcing and professional privilege.
Strategic Legal Advisor’s original research will be augmented by regular news stories, analysis, interviews, country guides and legal articles written by leading legal experts.
Users will also have access to Strategic Legal Advisor’s unique matching service, which puts clients in touch with the best lawyers in dozens of jurisdictions worldwide. On uploading details of your case or matter onto the system, the patent-pending identifies which of the hundred-plus law firms that are members of the service would be best-suited and forwards your details onto them. Within 48 hours, those firms that are interested in handling your matter will respond to you, outlining your options and giving an estimate of how much it might cost. Your identity will remain confidential throughout the process if you wish.
