Developed specifically for in-house professionals, this report delivers strategic insights into the evolving landscape of legal department operations. Drawing on comprehensive data from 395 legal departments across 23 industries and 34 countries, it offers a robust set of benchmarks to evaluate performance, identify opportunities, and drive informed decision-making in key operational areas.
The report provides dozens of benchmarking metrics covering these six areas:
- Headcount and structure
- Cost management
- Workload allocation
- Legal technology adoption
- Law firms, ALSPs, and fee arrangements
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion
The data reveals a dynamic and responsive legal environment where organizations are actively adapting their internal structures, spending patterns, and external partnerships. The overarching themes of efficiency, strategic resource allocation, and a keen eye on cost containment are pervasive, manifesting distinct ways depending on a company's size, growth stage, and strategic priorities. The rapid adoption of new technologies, particularly AI, is a crucial facilitator in this ongoing transformation.
