Why Deloitte?

The legal world is transforming and Deloitte Legal is developing the tools to help legal business during this transformative time.

Deloitte's work on Legal Management Consulting (LMC) was inspired by two quite different factors:

  1. The first was our study of the global legal market. We interviewed General Counsel (“GCs”) and conducted formal research with GCs, CEOs, CFOs, and other senior executives and identified a growing need for a much more disciplined and systematic approach to the management of in-house legal departments.
  2. The second factor was our work during the past decade in the field of tax management consulting. Deloitte’s Tax Management Consulting (TMC) is now a global, multidisciplinary service that assists tax departments and tax directors with strategies, and advises them on operating models and technology.

Considering an in-house lawyer’s need for rigour and process in legal functions, we decided to draw on our experience in tax and apply the TMC methodology to law practices. When we suggested this idea to lawyers, we uncovered a considerable overlap and synergy. When we raised the possibility of LMC during research and discussions with in-house counsel, the feedback was encouraging.
