CHANGE OR PERISH
Law Departments and Law Firms that don’t make substantial changes in the areas of talent development,
business process improvement or risk forecasting will become irrelevant.
In order to succeed in an ever-changing business landscape, law firms and law departments today need to execute on three main pillars
of business: TALENT DEVELOPMENT, BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT, AND RISK FORECASTING. InsideCounsel’s “insider’s” view
focuses on these three pillars to offer legal departments and law firms unprecedented access to the thought leaders on the forefront of
these critical issues.

TAKING A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE
(EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP)
Talent Development
(COMPLIANCE)
Risk Forecasting
LAW DEPARTMENTS
Based on the analysis conducted by
Korn/Ferry, looking at the ages of CEOs
and GCs in Fortune, 25% to 50% are
over 55 and are likely to retire or be
fired within the next five years, creating
a leadership vacuum if companies don’t
spend more money and more resources.
LAW DEPARTMENTS
Based upon a confluence of factors, law
departments must become more efficient
(able to process more legal work with fewer resources) or there will be a far greater
risk to their respective corporations.
LAW FIRMS
As the law firm business model changes,
law firm senior management will become
to resemble Fortune 1000 companies.
More specifically, practice group heads
will be similar to business heads in
multi-national corporations. Law firms
must find a way to train this new breed
of leader/senior business manager.
www.insidecounsel.com
Litigation portfolios are expected
to increase (The BakerHostetler 2012
Year-end Review of Class Actions) and
merger and acquisition activity risk will
increase substantially (FTI/Corporate
Board Member – Law in the Corporate
Boardroom).
(INNOVATION)
Business Process
Reengineering
Companies navigating regulatory
requirements and stakeholder
expectations are challenged to do so
in a way that supports performance
objectives, sustains value and protects
the brand. Chief compliance officers
are under increased pressure and
scrutiny from shareholders and the
board of directors alike.
Studies show that compliance risk will
increase while headcount to manage that
risk will remain flat (Deloitte/Compliance
Week, Chief Compliance Officer Study).

WHITE PAPER:
Financial advisors and wealth managers are finding competition is intense, investors are harder to spur to
action, and everything is moving at Internet speed. Technology is the only way to stay ahead of all that and
hone both a differentiating and a highly competitive edge. The firms that make the right technology choices
can grow faster, cost effectively, and deliver superior service which inevitability leads to surpassing competing
RIAs on the fast track to success.
B
ut technology is a double-edged sword that does
indeed cut both ways.
Clients are demanding more, faster and cheaper
precisely because they are often online gathering
information as fast or faster than their advisors, leading
some to second-guess the advice they are given and others to
question the value of paying for advice.
Customer relationship management solutions, also
known as CRM, can help RIAs establish and maintain
authority in the eyes of even the most discerning and techsavvy investors. It can also help deliver information to a
client that is far more meaningful than anything they can
find in an online search on their own. That is to say that
CRM is both a business enhancer for RIAs and a value-add
for clients.
www.insidecounsel.com
This is, of course, why so many advisory firms have
moved away from spreadsheets and cobbled computer
programs and to a full-fledged CRM. However, not all
CRM products are created equal making the choice of CRM
systems both a vital and tricky business.
CRM choices should always be made based on more than
the ease of buttons and clicks on the advisor side, although
that certainly is a consideration it shouldn’t be the prevailing
factor. The right CRM delivers everything you need to
stay ahead of clients and prospects. It will also scale with
your firm’s new growth and have a large community of app
developers and third-party vendors to add value along the
way. And, it will easily integrate with other systems the firm is
using in order to quickly merge data from other sources and
speed and simplify the input process.

ABOUT THE NEW INSIDECOUNSEL
BOLDER – DEEPER - CLOSER
InsideCounsel is the only publication in the legal industry that covers issues from the
perspectives of the boards of directors, regulators and others who drive what general
counsel should be thinking about.
InsideCounsel provides:
ACCESS TO TOP THINKERS: unprecedented and unparalleled access to top thinkers and doers in
the world that touches the magazine’s readers (and advertisers).
VIEWS VS. NEWS: As a monthly magazine, the focus is on views (what opinion influencers are
thinking), rather than news (what happened yesterday, last week, last month)
PEER TO PEER JOURNALISM: 50% of articles will be written by experts, rather than by journalists.
DATA DRIVEN: Data is critical to the presentation of material, through annotated charts and graphs
that are not necessarily available anywhere else.
Editorial Team:
ERIN E. HARRISON – Editor in Chief
RICHARD P. STEEVES – Managing Editor
CHRIS DIMARCO – Associate Editor
