"Can GCs Avoid Having Teams Seen As Department Of 'No'?" A recent Law360 article echoed the pain point we hear every day from our clients.

While networking with local #GeneralCounsel this week, three topics emerged related to outside counsel engagement. Let's break these down... ⭕ Variable Quality: Different attorneys or law firms may have varying levels of expertise, experience, and work quality, which can lead to inconsistent legal advice and outcomes. ⭕ Understanding Client Needs: Some attorneys may not fully grasp the client’s business, industry, or specific legal needs, resulting in advice that is not tailored or relevant. ⭕ Client Prioritization: Law firms may allocate resources differently, leading to uneven performance if less experienced or lower-priority teams handle certain matters. So, how can a busy law firm help alleviate these challenges? Two words: client listening Without it, you run the risk of: ❌ Losing Client-Focus: Disconnected from client needs and missed improvement opportunities. ❌ Client Dissatisfaction: Unaddressed issues leading to client attrition and potential reputation damage. ❌ Competitive Disadvantage: Falling behind competitors, operational inefficiencies, and weaker client relationships. Client feedback MEANS business. #clienthaven  #inhouseout
