Measuring Risks, Caseload, and Performance Through Metrics and Reports
A Home Depot Podcast

It's hard to believe that roughly ten years ago, The Home Depot was a $45 billion company with forty or so lawyers, no general liability litigation department, and roughly 2000 general liability cases per year. At that time, the legal department had the vision to build a world-class team of committed people, who understood the business and would function as a strategic partner to the corporation. InsideCounsel magazine Custom Media Editor, Carol Alfred, interviewed Libby Troughton, Senior Manager of Legal IT at The Home Depot to understand how the retail giant has improved legal operations since bringing general liability in-house, enabled outside counsel collaboration while reducing 1200 law firms down to about 20, and dropped general liability cases to about 900 per year.



Achieving a Global View of Legal Spend
An Associated Bank Podcast

In today's economic climate maximizing your outside legal spend is crucial. But with so many companies negotiating rates, staffing and other expenditures, sometimes on a per matter basis, keeping track of your spend has become difficult at best. InsideCounsel magazine Custom Media Editor, Scott Gawlicki, interviewed Jan Neal, Vice President and Associate Counsel, at Associated Bank to learn how the diversified bank has gained control over its expenses, improved outside counsel relationships, and optimized internal processes.



Controlling Costs and Limiting Liability With Unified Operations
A Trinity Health Podcast

E-billing promised significant money-savings for in-house legal departments. But now that the initial hype has settled, some legal departments are discovering that their savings don't really add up. A lack of visibility into spend, weak business intelligence, poor collaboration capabilities, and a dependence on the vendor to pull reports are just a few of the challenges in-house counsel have reported. The good news? Reducing outside legal expenses without the frustration is possible. InsideCounsel magazine Custom Media Editor, Scott Gawlicki, interviewed Diane Birell, Business Manager of Legal Services, at Trinity Health to discuss how they have been able to control outside counsel costs and save $300,000 - $350,000 per year on their e-billing solution.
