Legal & Litigation Spend Management

Enabling legal professionals to focus on their most critical challenges.

More than ever, General Counsel and law firm partners are challenged to successfully navigate their primary responsibility of delivering high-quality legal services while simultaneously managing complex strategic and operational responsibilities. Mounting regulatory demands, volatile litigation risk, technological complexity, cost pressures and constantly evolving stakeholder concerns all combine to place unprecedented demands on counsel’s time and provide impediments to achieving an efficient and effective legal function.

Using a holistic approach that leverages deep multidisciplinary expertise, Ankura bridges the myriad gaps between in-house and outside counsel, business stakeholders, and software vendors to help leaders manage the legal function in a focused and cost-effective way. By tailoring solutions for our clients, Ankura can help counsel to maintain operational focus by carefully monitoring the metrics and developments that matter most, and to develop practical legal and litigation spend solutions to clear obstacles and achieve results.

Legal Spend Management System Implementation & Advisory

Ankura was engaged by the nation’s leading mortgage lender to help advise General Counsel and in-house counsel on legal and litigation spend management opportunities and to oversee the implementation of a leading legal spend management technology solution. Serving as a buffer between in-house legal, other business lines, and technology solution vendors, our team developed and executed an implementation plan, resolved data migration obstacles, recommended legal operations workflow enhancements, and supported other issues pertaining to staffing shortages. Ankura also created advanced data analytics and customized, interactive dashboarding to present legal invoice and associated system data to in-house counsel in a clear and actionable manner, leading to immediate cost savings and more informed matter management and law firm retention decisions.
