The commercial benefit of effective panel management with Lexis Nexis

Effectively engaging with law firms is a priority for in-house counsel to enable them to provide the best outcome for their business. With the rise of alternative fee arrangements (AFA) and other disruptive services, the issue has become even more topical for in-house lawyers seeking to render processes as efficient and effective as possible. On 24 March 2021 LexisNexis hosted an event in which over 70 legal professionals met to discuss how in-house counsel can enhance their relationship with law firms.

Lexis Nexis were joined by Toby McCrindle, General Counsel at Snowfall, a travel technology company, Will Long, Client Partnership Director at Alacrity, a law firm relationship management platform, and Maria Johnston, Director at Radius Law. Our panellists shared their personal experiences and gave us tips on best practice.

Emma Dickin, head of In-House Strategy at LexisNexis, asked our expert panel questions relating to cost control and aligning ‘value’ to the needs of the legal department and wider organisation.
