Managing Litigation as a Business

The mission of the “Managing Litigation as a Business” initiative is to help corporate in-house legal teams provide greater value to their clients by managing risks, disputes and litigation more efficiently and effectively to achieve better results at lower costs. To these ends, our primary goals are to:

• Develop a “Managing Litigation Reference Model” (MLRM) to provide a universal, practical and flexible framework to guide actions, implement continuous improvement processes and measure progress in efforts to avoid and mitigate risks, minimize and resolve disputes and manage litigation more efficiently and effectively;
• Provide education and training to enhance knowledge and skills pertinent to these efforts;
• Assist law departments and their preferred providers to achieve specific desired outcomes through dedicated self-improvement projects; and
• Marshal and centralize best practices, proven tools and other resources needed to accomplish these goals.

There is no cost for in-house legal teams to participate in this groundbreaking endeavor.  Providing the complete solution in a way that every law department can afford to take advantage of it is what the "Managing Litigation as a Business" (Managing Litigation) is all about.

Importantly, senior in-house counsel participating in the Managing Litigation initiative are recommending the program as a resource that promotes, aligns with and facilitates achievement of ACC Value Challenge goals (see, Related Initiatives).
