FTI Technology's Corporate Legal Operations practice helps organizations achieve operational efficiencies and measurable results across the legal operations spectrum, using the technology and services that best meet their needs. The expanded list of the practice's legal operations assessments addresses key areas, including:

Business Strategy Alignment: Establishing a solid foundation for legal operations begins with comprehensive planning and focuses heavily on aligning stakeholders. Through a data-driven approach, FTI Technology identifies gaps in legal processes to help align and shape strategic roadmaps.
Resource Optimization: Assessments examine the risk and complexity of the department's resourcing and recommend opportunities to realign work among in-house teams or cost-effective outside providers.
Technology: Legal technology transformation requires a deep understanding of the legal department's current state, anticipated future needs and industry-specific nuances. Equally essential is a holistic vision for the department's optimal solution ecosystem and an overarching data strategy. When selecting a solution, implementation experience can be invaluable. FTI Technology's experts have a proven track record of executing on each step of the transformation journey and planning for change before, during and after implementation.
Process: FTI Technology's process and system design experts work with clients' legal operations teams to streamline workflows and maximize existing technology investments to minimize friction between the legal department and its business stakeholders.
Spend and Vendor Management: By evaluating specific details about the overall legal spend and how outside vendors — including law firms, technology providers, e-discovery providers and trial services — are billing, FTI Technology provides deep insights into legal spend and recommendations for optimizing budgets.
Operational Analytics and Reporting: As data becomes increasingly important to in-house counsel, FTI Technology helps clients unlock and interpret the information required to enable real-time reporting and dashboards and enable accurate, data-driven decision making.

Wafik Guirgis, a Senior Managing Director and global Co-Leader of FTI Technology's Corporate Legal Operations practice, added, "Articulating a compelling, data-supported value story is becoming more critical for legal departments, especially in the current economic conditions. Doing this requires the right solutions and operating model, as well as a clear starting point and understanding of how to execute.
