Legal Business Consulting

Insights that define the industry.

Driving meaningful innovation in legal departments requires a clear vision and a steady hand. With sharp clarity and proven execution experience, we can turn your ideas into impact.

Legal innovation is easy to preach, hard to do.

Transforming legal departments sounds simple in theory. But on the ground and in the thick of things, even the most sophisticated teams are lumbering under the weight of failed initiatives, unused tech, unfulfilled promises, and serious innovation fatigue.

PIECEMEAL APPROACH

Without a structured approach, ad-hoc initiatives lead to a patchwork of makeshift solutions and frenzied troubleshooting.

MISPLACED BELIEFS

Without market intelligence or industry benchmarks, legal departments often start with wrong assumptions and set unrealistic targets.

BLIND SPOTS

Without an objective outside-in lens, internal teams embedded deep within the organisation end up with a siloed view of operations.

COMPETING PRIORITIES

Without focused resources and the project management rigour needed to drive transformation, teams get consumed fighting daily fires.

LACK OF EXPERTISE

Without specialised capabilities across areas like legal operations and process engineering, major transformations are difficult to achieve.

NO REAL BUY-IN

Without a compelling business case backed by data and validation from outside experts, securing buy-in from leadership can be an uphill battle.

“I brought Counselect in to review the operating model of the legal team. The goal was to improve efficiency and expand the strategic role of team members. Counselect led the project with imagination and application. They brought the insights to life by leading a presentation to management and executing the recommendations.”
