Law Department Operations Survey
The Annual Law Department Operations Survey was created in 2008 to give law departments a consistent platform to benchmark themselves and shed light on the emerging profession of law department management. It is the largest, oldest and most comprehensive law department operations survey in the marketplace, with more than 300 unique data points and more than a hundred different responding law departments.
The yearly survey is created and published by the Blickstein Group, in cooperation with Consilio. The advisory board, headed by David Cambria, director of global operations – law, compliance and government relations, Archer Daniels Midland Company, consists of LDOs from Fortune 300 companies and consults on the survey.
Consilio has contributed as the name sponsor since the inaugural survey. Other sponsors for 2018 are Alphaserve, QuisLex, Wolters Kluwer, Yerra Solutions, Exterro, HighQ, iManage, Legal Decoder, and Onit. Our media partner is Above the Law.
The 2018 Survey Report, “The End of Duopoly,” can be downloaded here.
