The Problem
Your legal team is frequently bombarded with unclear legal support requests.
Related challenges include:
- poor instructions make it hard to mobilise your team efficiently
- your team spends far too much time clarifying service requests
- you are not always clear on what request is truly time critical
- you don’t have detailed insights into the workflows you service
- you find it hard to forecast workloads and work-types
- your team is always busy but remains on the backfoot
- your internal clients routinely complain about your team's responsiveness
- you are under pressure to make your legal team more productive
- you aren’t collecting performance data to support legal operations decisions
