HOW MANY LAW DEPARTMENTS
DOES IT TAKE TO SEND A MESSAGE?

Over the past few years, corporate counsel from the companies listed below have demonstrated sincere interest in what law firm/client partnering arrangements have to offer.

Many have attended national "Partnering & Convergence" forums or participated as faculty. Some have ordered materials from these conferences. Others have attended local partnering seminars or participated in roundtable discussions. Many have written independent articles or contributed as authors to a collective work on the subject. Some have approached consultants or their colleagues wanting to know more about the keys to successful partnering programs. And, many work for companies that have significantly reduced the number of law firms they are using in efforts to control outside legal costs.

So, how many law departments does it take to send a message to law firm leaders that clients today are serious about exploring the benefits of partnering arrangements? Good question. What seems evident is that interest among corporate counsel is strong and growing rapidly and the trend towards partnering is here to stay.
