Watch our latest global insights session on demand where a panel of Simmons experts share insights and opportunities from our recent ‘Next Gen Legal Solutions Index’ survey where we asked 500 GC’s to lift the lid on their experience of external legal panels. Learn what the survey found out about the current trends, changes and challenges and how GC’s answered the question ‘if you had infinite spend and infinite control, how would you spend your £ with your external panel?’. Will you agree?

Together, we unpicked the survey findings and discussed how law firms can rise to meet the challenges highlighted by GC feedback.

This webinar covers:

The challenge of working with external counsel: what is giving in-house teams cause for concern and where’s the opportunity to close the gap on legal need?

Extracting value from legal documents: in-house teams are sat on a huge amount of data but extracting value today is the preserve of less than 15% of those surveyed. How can in-house teams accelerate their efforts and what role can law firms take when it comes to providing advice on data strategy, structure and use?

How the last 2 years has changed the make-up of legal teams: understanding the shift to multi-disciplinary teams, resource flexibility and the role that law firms can play in plugging resource gaps.

The rise and rise of change management: what it takes to execute change and why the capability is no longer a ‘nice to have’ when it comes to supporting legal teams.
