Individual problem solving - personal - independent - without overhead
Artificial intelligence (AI), combined with 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 legal services, but HOW these services are provided. Compensation models are shifting from "input-based" to "output-based" - essentially towards fixed prices.
Methods and tools from the
IT
and the
general 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 in legal operations
).
Focus of my consulting work
:
- Simulation of the impact of AI on the way services are provided in legal departments and law firms (positioning, personnel development, organization, processes, compensation models)
- process optimization and automation
- project management/technology projects
- Legal Spend Management/Fixed Fee Readiness
- EXCLUSIVE
- 365forlegal
- : Introduction of Microsoft 365-based Matter Intake, Document Management, and Matter Management solutions in legal departments
Practice what you preach
Regardless of [large] law firms and Big4, the following principles apply to me: efficiency and effectiveness BEFORE utilization and hourly rate maximization, reusability and reuse of "semi-finished products", don't reinvent the wheel.
