At SeyfarthLean Consulting, our mission is to help clients meet emerging and evolving challenges: with big ideas, new approaches, and diverse competencies.

Now more than ever, in-house law departments need to prove the value of their own services to their businesses—but the shift from cost center to value center isn't easy. You face an increasingly complex environment, more priorities competing for your attention, and more options when buying legal services or technology solutions. The possibilities for change are numerous, but your goals and constraints are unique.

HOW WE HELP

As a result of nearly two decades optimizing our own operations, we bring both practical experience and inventive thinking to the emerging area of law department operations. From assessment to delivery, our team can help you identify the right problem to solve and collaborate with you on lightweight, tech-enabled and process-driven solutions that people will actually use.

Our consultants are technologists, business strategists, data analytics specialists, and process improvement experts. Together, they design and build solutions to optimize legal services delivery, law department management, and use of inside and outside counsel.

OUR SERVICES

Work with us to build simpler ways to deliver service to your organization, all underpinned with technology that provides an executive-level view of status and the data-driven insights needed for continuous improvement.
