Powerful Legal Chaining

As corporate legal departments are looking for proactive risk mitigation solutions while forced to reduce budgets, law firms are looking to differentiate and gain a competitive advantage over their peers, develop stronger business relationships and drive growth.  These trends in the market have fueled the concept of legal chaining, facilitating greater cooperation and integration between inside and outside counsel through enabling technologies. Autonomy’s Meaning Based Governance platform helps corporations and law firms improve their processes through enhanced collaboration and the reduction of costs and risks associated with legal matters.

Autonomy’s in place methodology promotes legal chaining by creating new opportunities for collaboration between corporations and their outside counsel. Autonomy’s technology allows corporations to save money, lower risk and reduce the time required for managing electronic content across the entire Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). By providing law firms access to data in place, corporations maintain control of their data throughout the litigation and investigation lifecycles, containing the risks surrounding multiple copies of discovery data on foreign networks. The improved collaboration between in-house and outside counsel saves a considerable amount of time, enabling corporations to better meet the compressed timelines introduced by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Legal chaining benefits law firms by providing new opportunities to service their customers and generate revenue using alternative fee arrangements. Through accelerated access to data, law firms are able to begin advising their clients earlier in the litigation cycle and to provide a more holistic set of services.
