Order Survey View Table of Contents
Would you like to know how your management of outside counsel compares with other in-house counsel? Are you interested in the latest techniques being used by other law departments?
More than 300 in-house counsel share their insights on managing work with outside counsel in an annual survey conducted by ACCA and Serengeti Law. Specific benchmarks by size of company and size of law department permit useful comparisons with your practice. From amounts spent and hourly rates, to common management techniques (such as billing guidelines, alternative fees, and budgets), to newer techniques (such as secondment and early payment discounts), to technology solutions (such as electronic billing and Internet-based services), detailed information is summarized so that you can learn from the experiences of other in-house counsel.
The 260-page report is provided on a CD, which organizes information for ease of reference. The report summary provides a strategic view of the evolving ways that law departments are managing outside counsel, including comparisons with last year's results. Detailed tables break down the information by size of company and size of law department. The report is offered at a special discount to ACCA members, so that your law department can save time and money with improved management of outside counsel.
