Legal Department Workload Analysis Diagnostic
An effective solution to address critical challenges:
Visibility
"I don’t know what my team is working on or where to make shifts for efficiency gains."
Capacity
"We’re overwhelmed with work and don’t know where to push back on the business or how to prioritize."
Non-legal work
"We’re doing too much non-legal work but it’s difficult to say exactly how much or what kind of work this is."

Who should do the work?
