Corporate counsel and legal operations professionals agree that moving more work in-house is their go-to litigation cost containment strategy, according to a new report by the Association of Corporate Counsel and legal tech platform Everlaw.

Almost 60% of the 200 in-house legal chiefs and ops professionals surveyed in the report said they prefer insourcing to limit litigation costs, while 52% also said they invest time into better balancing how work is divided between firms, managed service providers and specialty firms.
