How it works: LUS Consulting will deploy a Fractional Head of Legal Operations to work 1 to 3 days a week as an integral part of your team, for an agreed upon duration. Put simply, this is a flexible and cost-effective way to streamline and scale your department from within.
In his book, Tomorrow’s Lawyers, Richard Susskind notes that General Counsel invariably face three problems: (i) pressure to reduce headcount, (ii) pressure to reduce costs and (iii) pressure to take on more (and riskier) legal and compliance work. He calls this the ‘more-for-less’ challenge and is one that our LOaaS, in the form a deployed, temporary Fractional Head of Legal Operations, is here to help solve.
If you, like many others, are dealing with an increasing workload and decreasing legal resources, this flexible, cost-effective offering is for you!
While there is no one-size fits all, our consultants typically: (i) perform a maturity assessment and develop a bespoke framework so that you are able to systematically evaluate your department, identify opportunities, areas for improvement and guide future operational development; (ii) develop a clear, well-defined strategy and transformation roadmap, so that you are able to clearly articulate where you want to go and how you plan to get there; and (iii) implement scalable processes, technology and data solutions, so that your teams operate unburdened by repetitive, manual tasks and routinely leverage data-driven, actionable insights, to inform conversations, decision-making and remain trusted, strategic partners to the business.
