Here is a single-topic mini audit that in-house counsel can administer to potential or current outside counsel. (It can be delivered remotely.)
THE ASK: Request that outside counsel provide you with a budget estimate for a common task, such as an opposition to a motion for summary judgment. When counsel respond that they are unable to construct a budget for a content-free hypothetical, ask that they merely provide you a range of costs for a final budget. If they supply that range, ask how they developed it, and what data it is based on.
