Companies that apply legal operations intelligently have more satisfied customers, fewer double or unnecessary purchases and employment contracts that are easier to manage. Their business operations are decisive, with an inclusive legal function. Decisive business management means, among other things, better logistics, so that customers can be served faster and better. An inclusive legal function is an integral part of all business processes. Rather than lawyers interpreting and applying the law, the law, policy and contracts become an integral part of business activities.
What are the benefits?
Legal operations is the way for companies and organizations to:
- Organize business operations effectively and efficiently;
- Conduct business activities in a manageable, predictable and consistent manner;
- Putting the customer more center stage;
- Enter into contracts that fit the needs of the business and are flexible enough to move with the inevitable changes businesses are going through;
- Reduce legal risks of back payment or claims; and
- Get costs under control.
Now that many companies are re-examining their business operations and feel the urgency to organize their organization data-driven, they are also starting to organize their corporate legal function differently and data-driven. By redesigning the corporate legal function, aligning with business processes and applying the concept of legal operations 1.0.1, savings of up to 30-40% of the operational costs can be realized. The chance of disputes is also much smaller. In the unlikely event that they do occur, these companies are legally fit enough to handle them.
