Ladbrokes has introduced an electronic billing and online performance review system for its legal advisers ahead of a review of the gambling company’s eight-strong panel next year.

The e-billing and law firm appraisal system, introduced this month, allows Ladbrokes’ in-house team, which is headed by general counsel Jonathan Adelman, to assess firms according to criteria including ‘value for money’, ‘responsiveness’ and ‘commerciality’.
