EMRG Conference Overview

This past week I had the pleasure of speaking at the EMRG conference at the United Oxford and Cambridge University Club in London.

The event featured a number of prominent speakers in the legal outsourcing community including several experts written about in the case studies of our Implementing a Successful Legal Outsourcing Engagement book, Richard Reade, general counsel of ISS, and Nigel Kissack of Pinsent Masons, both pioneers in their respective outsourcing endeavours, gave informative and engaging presentations.

The conference was both well-attended and well-received. I spoke on the topics of engagement structures, vendor selection and cultural considerations.

The overall disposition of the conference was that legal outsourcing is not an exclusive solution, but is rather one of many effective approaches available to law firms and general counsel as they seek to provide increased value for their legal services.
