Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Chicago

The pressure on in-house lawyers to live within the confines of a budget is growing.  This is particularly true when it comes to spending on outside counsel. And, planning for the 2023 budget is just around the corner! Join us for a lively and entertaining discussion with 5-time author and noted legal blogger Sterling Miller who will discuss tried and true methods to best manage (and even reduce) outside counsel spend.   

What you’ll learn:
•    The importance of forecasting legal spend (and how to do it);
•    Alternatives to the billable hour;
•    The value of alternative legal service providers and boutique law firms;
•    Why setting expectations with outside counsel matters
•    And much, much more!


Speakers

Sterling Miller writer of “Ten Things You Need to Know as In-House Counsel” blog, 3-time general counsel; and author of five books, including the new “Showing the Value of the Legal Department: More Than Just a Cost Center.”
