How to Hire and Manage a Lawyer/Law Firm

Under increased pressure to get better value for money, in-house counsel need to know how to assess, select and manage external counsel. When should you invite proposals? What should the Request for Proposal include? What should you be looking for in written proposals and presentations? Although this session is primarily designed for in-house counsel, astute private practitioners may want to tune in as well.

Specific topics will include:

• Prep work required before contacting counsel
• Developing relevant criteria for assessing candidates
• What to look for when setting time, scope, cost and quality parameters
• How to monitor and hold counsel accountable
• How to assess advice provided
• Capturing lessons learned

You’ll walk away with tools, documents/checklists that will allow you to implement these practices in your organization.

There will be an opportunity for a “live” online Q&A with faculty.
