A Thomson Reuters report finds that legal operations teams are now a hallmark of over half of corporate legal departments.
Legal department operations teams are not a particularly new entity in corporate legal departments, but in the last few years they've crossed the threshold into a household fixture as a means to curb costs and infuse more business-like structures into in-house legal work.
Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker, the company's e-billing offering, recently published its first Legal Department Operations (LDO) Index Benchmarking and Trends Report to give law departments and their operations teams a sense of the current outlook of legal operations work. The report found that 51 percent of legal departments now have dedicated legal operations staff.
