The conference sessions presented by Clutch Group focused on the use of LPO to manage contracts, global compliance, litigation, and a variety of other topics relevant to in-house lawyers around the nation.

Clutch Group President Paul Mandell told the conference attendees that "the legal world is evolving, both out of necessity and through natural innovation." He further noted, "As the structure, management, and strategies of legal departments continue to undergo a transformation, many of the biggest and the best companies are eager to learn as much as they can about legal outsourcing solutions." Mandell affirmed that "the roundtable demystified this increasingly popular practice and helped the attendees understand how to integrate outsourcing solutions into their own businesses effectively."

Conference Producer Varugis George offered that "legal departments can maximize efficiencies and cut costs without sacrificing thoroughness or quality." Mandell added, "That is precisely the interest served by Clutch Group."

The current recession has changed the business landscape, forcing companies to seek cost savings and develop smarter spending practices. Corporate legal departments are identifying unique ways to showcase their value to the business and the bottom line. Some of the roundtable topics included how to use global outsourcing to work around the clock on legal issues, deploying paralegals to increase efficiency, and developing tools to manage outside counsel.

Tough economic times have triggered an increase in bankruptcies and litigation. The roundtable discussed techniques to battle rising legal costs by using experienced and specialized legal process outsourcing.
