Focus on the essentials

The continued spread of AI is fundamentally and forever changing the way services are provided in the legal market. What are the effects on culture, skills, organization, processes, technology or compensation in your organization? How can not only efficiency but also productivity be increased?Independent, entrepreneurial advice is needed.

How would you like it?

No challenge in the legal market is fundamentally new, there just hasn't been enough reason to tackle it consistently. Other industries and departments have been dealing with change and adaptation, with new roles and skills, with digitization and its effects for decades. Just because we like to add "legal" to every discipline (operations/design/project management), we don't have to reinvent the wheel. There are enough methods and tools available, you just have to know them and use them.

Let's talk

Cost reduction

Do you want to optimize external legal spend?


We automatically read your law firms’ time sheets, identify cost-cutting potential and enable legal departments to offer fixed prices.

Transformation

The legal department should be made fit for upcoming challenges?


Well over 50 projects, in and outside the legal market, reorganizations and post-merger integrations - successful transformation and change does not have to be a matter of luck.

LAW FIRM

Your agenda at the firm? My specializations.

Growth

Do you want to become more successful in winning new matters and clients and expand your market share?


20 years of experience and responsibility in PSF sales, over 50 trainings  on "Selling Legal Services" and "Partner Business Case", a good dozen projects for legal departments on Legal Spend Management. Successful acquisition requires methods. And I know both sides.



Let's talk

Profitability

Would you like to prepare your law firm for the increase in fixed-price matters without negatively impacting profitability?


We use time sheets for defined use cases, machine learning technology for processing, a proprietary tool for simulating the effects of Office AI, Legal AI, Process Management and Project Management, incl.  an "instruction" to all four disciplines. Results so far: It has always been double-digit (negative).

Let's talk

Transformation

Transformation and change in law firms is probably the most important, most urgent, but also most demanding task in law firms.

Change requires openness and willingness to change from those involved and excellent leadership qualities from those who have been elected to a role for a few years.

That is why I accompany law firms during transformations exclusively in the background, as an advisor, sparring partner, and often with clear words.

ABOUT

Artificial intelligence (AI), standardization and efficient process and project management methods will profoundly and sustainably change the way services are provided in the legal market.


The focus will be less on WHO is providing legal services, but HOW these services are provided. Compensation models are shifting from "input-based" to "output-based": fixed fees.


Methods and tools from  ITand business administration are becoming indispensable in legal departments and law firms. Legal operations are becoming operations for the legal market. We use methods and skills that have been established in other industries and departments for decades.


As a business economist with over 30 years of experience in professional services firms, I offer these skills, acquired in more mature industries (15 years of operations/IT/projects/processes/consulting)and in the legal market (10 years at a large international law firm, 7 years as a freelance legal operations consultant).


As a program partner, I have been responsible for the agenda of the JUVE  Legal Operations Conference.

 

Sparring partner for decision-makers – strong implementation skills for doers.

Independent of law firms and Big4, free from utilization pressure, and happy to offer a fixed fee.


BUCERIUS LEGAL OPERATIONS CAMPUS

In 2019, we  founded the Legal Operations Campus at Bucerius Executive Education. At that time, many people were not yet familiar with the term Legal Operations. Over the past few years, we have been able to teach several hundred participants the basics on Legal Operations. Some seminars are offered exclusively for law firms or legal departments, while others allow mixed participation.
