We all know clients are demanding more efficiency from outside law firms. But that doesn't have to place buyers and sellers of legal services at odds.

Consider what in-house lawyers truly want when they talk about efficiency: quality, reliability and demonstrable value for their legal spend.

There's no doubt law firms can boost their own bottom line by delivering those outputs to clients consistently. But doing so requires new ways of working, more transparency, and better processes for taking a legal project from inception to completion. It means spending time with clients to learn from what went right and what could have gone better.

Lean Adviser Legal, an online program from Law.com, gives lawyers and law firms the tools and training to make sure every project begins and ends with client alignment
