Challenges of new technologies
Lack of innovation in service delivered by law firms
Persistent cost pressures
!
The Stress on Law Departments Is Increasing

– Altman Weil's 2016 Chief Legal Officer Survey
6.6% report getting real value from those efforts
39% of law departments report collecting and analyzing management metrics to improve efficiency
CLOs Have Difficulty Putting a Number on Discovery Spend

When the survey asked how many of their top 10 law firms have provided useful spend analysis to the law department, 73% of CLOs reported that none of them had.

External Legal Spend as a Percentage of Revenue
![Page 9: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CLOs are wielding their buying power, leveraging technology and process efficiency, and outsourcing to alternative providers, all to build a more effective and flexible legal function.
Embracing the Role of Change Agent
![Page 10: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Corporate legal teams need a better, more effective way to manage litigation costs across vendors and law firms.
So how do you build a more effective and flexible legal function?
Managing Costs
![Page 13: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reducing discovery costs means more than just lowering user fees or the price per gigabyte.
It means treating discovery as a business process, one that you make more efficient through a central repository and standardized practices.
What if You Could Centralize It All?
![Page 15: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Much greater opportunities to re-use work product, both directly and indirectly
Another Benefits of Centralization
![Page 17: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Direct Re-use of Work Product• “Frequent flyers”
• Types of decisions unlikely to change from one matter to the next: • Privilege
• Trade Secret
• Confidential
• CSI
• PII
![Page 18: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Indirect Re-use of Work Product• “You only have to get close”
• Potential categories include: • Privilege
• Trade secret
• Confidential
• CSI
• PII
• Similar subject matter(s)
![Page 19: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Each has its own system and procedures with inevitable complications, delays and inefficiency when it comes to interacting with others.
This also reduces the amount of data and documents they need to review.
1 Start by reducing the number of vendors you use to collect, process and hold data.
How to Leverage Technology and Process
![Page 20: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Moving to the Left
![Page 21: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tags such as privileged, confidential, or hot follow the documents as they are promoted to individual matters so you can reuse valuable work product and minimize storage.
2 Load data directly into a core repository—particularly “frequent flier” custodians and documents needed for multiple cases.
How to Leverage Technology and Process
![Page 22: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

This makes it easier for the team to get up and running quickly with less work.
3 Create site templates for different types of matters with consistent field structures, standard coding forms, and similar displays.
How to Leverage Technology and Process
![Page 24: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
4 Develop discovery playbooks with standard practices and procedures for creating budgets, hiring staff, reviewing documents, reporting, and productions.
How to Leverage Technology and Process
![Page 25: Five Steps to Better Oversight of E-Discovery Spend](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880af981a28abf32c8b61b3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Real-time reporting helps you stay on top of cases and ensures that each is progressing according to plan.
5 Use customized reports to track case progress, both individually and across all matters.
How to Leverage Technology and Process
