Why Insurance Legal Teams Struggle to Manage Counsel and Risk
With hundreds of cases and multiple law firms in play, it’s tough to manage outside counsel, forecast spend, or assess legal risk—especially without centralized market data or law firm benchmarks.
Lack of Transparency into Law Firm Performance
Without knowing how law firms compare on cost efficiency, staffing, or industry specialization, selecting the right partner is difficult.
Hard to Manage Panel Relationships at Scale
Without a single source of truth, legal departments rely on spreadsheets and disconnected tools to track outside counsel engagement.
No Benchmarking to Justify Spend or Strategy
Legal leaders can’t compare their panel against market averages, making it hard to validate fees or push for change.
Legal Operations Teams Work Without Market Visibility
Legal ops is often expected to improve efficiency but lacks the intel to shape strategy, optimize panels, or streamline processes.
