Legal operations health check eBook
Benchmarking survey and practical tips
In 2018, we launched the Legal Operations Health Check – a 100-question survey tool, to help in-house lawyers evaluate the health of their departments and plan operational improvements.
From 2018 to 2020, the Health Check was used by 349 legal departments in 37 countries. In addition to providing them with individual evaluations and benchmarks, the Health Check aggregated a significant volume of data about the real state of legal operations.
The Legal Operations Health Check sheds important light on what’s happening (and just as informative, what’s not happening) in teams of all sizes, from all industries, across the world.
