The workload of legal departments at top UK companies has increased in the past 12 months, according to a Benchmarker survey commissioned by Legal Week’s sister publication Legal Director.
More than half of the departments surveyed (55%) said the overall volume of work had risen, with only one in 10 saying that it had decreased. The survey – conducted in association with Oyez Legal Technologies – also found that many legal departments are now handling an increasing proportion of the work themselves.
