delegation and quality assurance in the corporate law department

 

 

Most senior in-house lawyers are overworked. 

As one general counsel told one of our Walker Clark colleagues recently, "It's just easier and safer to do it myself."

One reason is that law departments frequently overlook opportunities to liberate senior professionals' time and attention for the truly significant issues.  Even when the opportunities are obvious, many lawyers are reluctant to delegate because of concerns about whether the work will be performed competently.

Delegation and quality assurance are each essential parts of the same legal management strategy.  Delegation cannot succeed without reliable quality assurance procedures; and quality assurance cannot be effective without delegation of responsibility to the people who do the work.

A Walker Clark Delegation and Quality Assurance Demonstration Project can help your law department get quick, lasting improvements in performance by capturing the most promising opportunities for delegation of legal work and supporting delegation with quality assurance procedures that prevent mistakes, rather than fix them after they occur.  A DQA project will also give you and your team the skills and experience that enable you to continue to take advantage of further opportunities on your own.
