Real-World Results: Case Studies

Reducing Outsourcing, Increasing Value

In a recent project, we assessed a fully staffed in-house legal department that was outsourcing over 90% of its caseload—creating an unsustainable financial burden.

After a detailed review, we identified:

  • Gaps in personnel and capability

  • Over-reliance on panel solicitors

  • Inefficiencies in internal workflows

We ran a successful recruitment campaign and streamlined internal processes to improve team output. Over the next 6–12 months, we aim to bring 70% of work back in-house, with a projected annual saving of nearly £250,000.
