NEW YORK, June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new report from Law.com Compass Pacesetter Research (previously known as ALM Intelligence Pacesetter Research) finds that legal departments in 2023 are under tremendous pressure to cut costs and often face edicts demanding radical reductions in their spend. Most of their efforts focus on slashing either resources (e.g., headcount) or costs (e.g., bringing more work in-house, asking for rate freezes from outside counsel, etc.). Still, economic conditions aside, perception is the real culprit in their spend management woes. Far too many legal departments still see themselves as cost centers and their organization treats them accordingly: The only way to deal with them is to continuously reduce their costs despite rising matter volume. What the current economic situation is highlighting for legal departments is the need to rethink their mission and reposition themselves within their companies as not a cost center but as a value-enabling center that becomes a strategic partner for internal clients. There is significant variability among legal departments regarding where they are on this journey, and the same is true with professional services providers catering to legal department needs.

Key Points: 
  • There is significant variability among legal departments regarding where they are on this journey, and the same is true with professional services providers catering to legal department needs.
  • "Legal departments traditionally think of spend management in terms of simple cost reduction," said Tomek Jankowski, Director of Law.com Compass Pacesetter Research.
  • The only sustainable remedy is for legal departments to become more adept at resource management, relationship management, and ultimately – value management."
