Across corporations, legal services remain one of the most elusive procurement categories. While many procurement executives have established strong control and oversight over purchasing for areas ranging from direct materials to logistics, effective management of legal spend remains a challenge. This challenge is often routed in a false perception that typical procurement strategies do not apply to a category where relationships are of the upmost importance. While the legal space certainly requires a degree of specialized procurement knowledge and understanding of category nuisances, there is the potential for significant incremental value and savings when the procurement and legal teams collaborate. The sheer amount of spend allocated to legal services is in and of itself enough to warrant the attention of most procurement executives. 

These substantial cost increases can be counteracted by progressive procurement strategies focused on effectively measuring the value delivered from law firms.
