December 2021 ACC Luncheon-Creating a Meaningful Vendor Scorecard

Please join us either in-person at the Quarry Golf Club or via Zoom as our friends from LexisNexis CounselLink bring us a program entitled" Creating a Meaningful Vendor Scorecard."

The average organization engages 73 legal vendors each year to support their legal needs. Larger organizations engage hundreds or even thousands of vendors. In a perfect world, how would you assess these vendors and what would it look like?

This workshop will engage the audience in an interactive process of designing a useful law firm scorecard.

• Expectations of law firms and other legal vendors

• Objective vendor metrics

• Qualitative vendor metrics

For 23 years, Dan has helped corporate counsel focus on the high value that lawyers bring to their client organization; by helping to optimize processes and control costs, the law department demonstrates its alignment with the other departments and company goals, while simultaneously highlighting the unique and strategic perspective that only lawyers can bring. This focus on the informational value of data means that Dan's clients have control over finances, vendors and work/task management, bringing boast-worthy efficiency improvements and significant cost reductions, the kind of results that show nicely on quarterly reports and in Board meetings. Ruderman spearheads the Strategic Partner Program for Legal Business Solutions at LexisNexis, capitalizing on the interdependence of the market ecosystem and delivering resources to CounselLink customers that help move them upward on the maturity curve. Prior to joining LexisNexis, Dan worked for divisions of GE and Lockheed Martin on visualization hardware and software development and distribution.
