Major, Lindsey & Africa is giving general counsel and in-house legal departments another tool for their cost-savings arsenals.

The legal consulting and recruiting giant announced Monday the launch of Make-Buy Analysis, an interactive tool that conducts a cost-benefit analysis for corporate legal departments to determine whether or not their workloads justify the hire of another internal attorney.

Major Lindsey partner Gregory Richter, vice president and global head of the firm's in-house practice group, helped develop the calculator to help his outfit's own consultants and corporate clients concerned about fiscal responsibility.
