I’ve written extensively about what law departments can do to innovate their panel convergence efforts in recent years, including in my book, Successful Innovation Outcomes in Law: A Practical Guide for Law Firms, Law Departments and Other Legal Organizations. I’ve also made the book chapter on panel convergence available for free here.
There are two key reasons that the panel convergence trend with continue to gather steam in corporate law departments. First, “digital transformation,” in all forms, has become a top two or three strategy at many companies. Second, “innovation,” in demonstrable and concrete forms, is now (and will continue to be) on the annual objectives list for most general counsel.
It is difficult for me to imagine that, in the next 6 – 12 months, any law department using a panel approach of approved law firms will not be re-evaluation the existing list and looking, at a minimum, to thin the herd. I can’t imagine that CEOs and CFOs will tolerate anything else.
