Legal Department Assessment

Expert assessments to help you build and manage your legal department or law firm.

Build the legal department or law firm of the future

Replace traditional “cut-and-paste” consultative assessments with our bespoke solutions for your specific needs. We’ll work with you to tailor pragmatic changes suitable to your situation and aligned to your business goals.

We deliver excellence in building and managing legal departments and law firms.

Unlike traditional diagnostic and recommendation engagements that cover the same basic steps of “gather raw data, massage data, make cookie-cutter recommendations, up-sell client, rinse and repeat,” Morae’s Business Consulting approach is focused on providing specific solutions to your unique challenges.

Often, these challenges are not immediately understood, and cannot necessarily be uncovered through analyzing raw data. So, at the outset of an engagement, we take the time to understand your situation and environment, including working with you to gain an understanding of:

  • Your company’s strategic priorities and market challenges;
  • Your legal department’s role within the organization and how it may be expected to support the company’s priorities;
  • Your department’s near-, mid-, and long-term goals and priorities.

Morae will help you with

Understanding your current situation and define the project objective.

Gathering targeted information, based on collaborative discussion of priorities and desired outcomes. We don’t go on fishing expeditions or arrive with a solution in search of a problem.

Contextualizing and understanding data. Our expertise and experience enable us to uncover the underlying causes of your unique position and analyze them in context.

Recommended solutions tailored to your needs. Not based on just “best practices,” but “best practices that will work for you.” And not based on just “benchmarks,” but “benchmarks relevant to you.”

Delivery of an action plan. We develop a plan of attack to achieve your desired outcome, based on real-world considerations and always mindful of change management and adoption.

Implementation or implementation advice, support and resources. We can support you post-engagement, as needed and desired.
