A shift in the economy often brings a shift in legal strategy. According to the 2022 ACC Law Department Management Benchmarking Report, a reduced legal budget may be on the horizon and corporate legal departments of all sizes are opting to handle more due diligence, legal research, and litigation case management in-house than they did last year. Meanwhile, courts are still recovering from pandemic delays. As legal counsel, what policies and actions should you consider during an economic downturn?
