GLS’s Ultimate Guide to Legal Operations™

The future for all in-house legal teams ("IHLs") is about evolving into teams that can achieve manifestly more with the resources that it already has at their disposal – this process is what we call “IHL Transformation”.

All in-house legal teams must accept that IHL Transformation is not a “job on top of the job” – it is a big part of “the job”!

IHL Transformation is the management, deconstruction and re-imagining of how IHLs work so that the “business as usual” can be executed more efficiently and thereby free up capacity for strategic and “business enabling” contributions. 

For IHL leaders, typically experts in the law and department management (i.e. “Old Law” structures), imagining how technology, data analytics, business process engineering and a new generation of lawyers might aid IHL Transformation (i.e. “New Law” considerations), is not always easy. 

As such, this Guide seeks to provide a holistic overview of how the domain of legal operations works. Moreover, it introduces tools, processes and “coal face” lessons that will help you make your IHL Transformation process far more manageable and efficient.

With 13 comprehensive chapters, this guide is essential reading for all in-house lawyers, particularly those that are in leadership positions, who want to effect profoundly positive change in their IHL.

This Guide also flags up additional resources that we believe might be of relevance to the reader - including materials from third parties, our own whitepapers and commercial solutions that we offer. 

This Guide is dedicated to all those who have suffered the inefficiencies of the legal industry and are motivated to improve things - we hope that you enjoy Edition 1 of this fabulous resource. 

Problem Solved.
