Can a team of lawyers operate with the efficiency of a car manufacturing line?
Probably not. Yet, the same principles that make auto manufacturing a beacon of efficiency—striving for the highest quality at the lowest cost with the shortest lead time—can be applied to everyday legal tasks.
That's the philosophy behind Lean Adviser Legal, an online program to help lawyers deliver better outcomes, improve efficiency and boost client satisfaction.
This week, spend 30 minutes with the Lean Adviser team and learn how lawyers at all levels can cut wasted hours from meetings, emails, research, discovery, and other routine work. Because consistently delivering the service and outcomes that clients want takes more than good intentions. It requires a new way of working.
