WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

INFO PLEASE - Winston & Strawn is spearheading a project that brings together lawyers and legal professionals from across the industry to develop new metrics for clients to use in measuring things like outside counsel budget accuracy, billing time, diversity, pro bono engagement, and how long it takes to complete matters. At the same time, the goal is that law firms will gain a better understanding of the clients’ evaluation process. Rhys Dipshan reports that the consortium, which includes 17 law firms and five corporate legal departments, is designed to change how legal teams create and use client evaluations.
