In-house legal teams are crucial to the operation and success of most businesses. However, they are often seen simply as the 'policemen' or 'doctors' of the company and their true potential is rarely realised or valued.

Removing these barriers frees up valuable time and resources, but the combined expertise of lawyers and other specialists is needed to transform performance.
Legal teams want to work more strategically, to be better business partners and managers of legal risk, however, they tend to be reactive, spending too much time fire-fighting. Progress is being made, but building a business case for change and securing extra investment can be challenging.
