GLOBAL LEGAL CAPABILITY CENTRE

Towards a globally integrated model for legal.

By consolidating legal operations into strategically located centres of excellence, GLCCs open the doors to quality talent, integrated tech, and standardised delivery.

As integrated extensions of the in-house legal department, GLCCs free up bandwidth for the core team to focus on strategic priorities and benefit from economies of scale.

Let’s Talk Let’s Talk

The decentralised model is failing.

GCs are caught in an impossible bind – cut costs, drive innovation, all while grappling with a tangled mess of disconnected teams and patchy workflows that stretch across the world.

TALENT TROUBLES

Attracting talent and managing teams across time zones brings overwhelming complexity.

SILOS EVERYWHERE

Duplication of efforts and inconsistent service delivery across the legal function.

POOR COST STRUCTURES

Managing multiple smaller teams scattered across the globe escalates costs at scale.

BARRIERS TO INNOVATION

Rolling out tech uniformly across countries remains a massive structural challenge.

True scale needs centralised capabilities.

Global Legal Capability Centres (GLCCs) have evolved from being mere back offices to strategic centres of excellence. Today, they are being leveraged by the world’s leading legal departments as innovation hubs and transformation enablers driving growth for parent organisations.

With GLCCs, we are helping in-house legal departments scale their operations and amplify their impact through an innovative shared services model.

TAP QUALITY TALENT

Develop dedicated capabilities by accessing a larger, more diverse talent pool that’s easier to attract, motivate, and retain.

STANDARDISE DELIVERY

Ensure consistency in service delivery through standardised playbooks, workflows, and global best practices.

INTEGRATE GLOBALLY

Extend the in-house legal department through a global operating model, governance, and oversight.

IMPROVE SCALABILITY

Scale operations to handle higher volumes of work without a proportional increase in headcount.

REDUCE SPEND

Cut costs through location arbitrage, economies of scale, and improved resource and vendor management.

DRIVE TRUE INNOVATION

Establish dedicated innovation labs to incorporate the latest technology and cutting-edge service models.

“GCs all over the world are clear that ‘shared services’ in legal is no longer synonymous with only low-value work. The concept has evolved to encompass highly specialised, strategic work done by top-tier talent.

Further, the best examples are combining this with the latest technology to fully rationalise back-office processes with the required legal inputs.

Counselect’s integrated people-plus-technology model is perfectly suited to meet this new and exciting reality.”

“The number of GLCCs being set up bears out the fact that India is poised to become the world’s legal talent capital. Unlike the old outsourcing system, the GLCC model favours business-facing roles for lawyers. The centres also function as a sandbox for tech and innovation.
