The ACC Chief Legal Officers Survey offers an opportunity to get data
that supports the imperative for the CLO to report directly to the CEO.
Other notable findings include what keeps CLOs up at night, reporting
structures, how CLOs view the future of departmental budgets and
staffing, litigation and contract workload, and where data breaches and
regulatory issues have the greatest impact.
The 2018 report includes an executive summary, key findings, global
and industry benchmarking metrics, and an in-depth question-by-question
analysis. Key metrics include:
* Legal department spend by company revenue
* Internal, external, and total spend as a percentage of revenue
* Legal department staffing numbers (including lawyers, paralegals, legal operations and administrative professionals)
* Matters handled by the legal department (litigation, compliance investigations, contracts)
* Data breaches, regulatory investigations and patent trolls
For in-house counsel, the report can help you:
* Learn more about the status and influence of the CLO and why it's so important to have a seat at the table.
* Evaluate your department's use of resources in relation to current trends in outsourcing versus insourcing work
* Benchmark staffing and budget trends among similar companies
* Stay up-to-date on the most commonly used fee structures
For law firms and legal service providers, the report can help you:
* Anticipate trends and types of work likely to be outsourced by in-house counsel
* Evaluate issues of greatest importance to CLOs by region and industry
* Learn more about how CLOs intend to spend their time in 2018
