GLS Knowhow Centre™ - Legal Department Template Module
A module of frequently used legal team matter management forms
The Problem
Your team does not have access to a standard set of legal team matter management forms.
Related challenges include:
- matter management hygiene is not what it should be
- standard forms drive quality and efficiency - you do not have them
- the team has an ad hoc approach to matter management forms
- quality of instructions, file notes and the like used by your team vary widely
- your institutional deal memory is not great
- the instructions your junior lawyers receive is not ideal
- file handover process is not ideal
Wouldn't it be great if everyone in your legal team was using the same matter management standard forms that reflected a common performance standard?
