Lean and Law

Lean is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wasteful activities in a process through continuous improvement. The key focus of Lean Thinking (Lean) is identifying the value of any given process by distinguishing value-added steps from non-value-added steps and eliminating waste so that, eventually, every step adds value to that process.

The application of Lean presents a significant opportunity for law firms and legal departments to enhance efficiency, reduce costs and stay competitive.

We help the legal sector develop and enhance a culture of continuous improvement through Lean for Law Yellow Belt training program.

Lean for Law Yellow Belt Training Program

Our approach is based on a collaborative, partnership-driven working style; effective stakeholder engagement, knowledge transfer and consensus building to develop an optimal future state that will best meet the needs of the organization.

The Lean methodology has been successfully implemented across the sector to:

Streamline document handling by reducing errors and expediting the review process, thereby leading to speedier case resolutions
Assign tasks to appropriate personnel so that high-value work is undertaken by senior lawyers and routine tasks are delegated, thereby increasing overall efficiency
Minimize administrative tasks and free up more time for billable legal work
Standardize and improve communication channels with clients and within the organization, thereby reducing delays and miscommunications
Enhance the organization and retrieval of case materials, both electronically and physically, to prevent delays and lost information
Enhance compliance with regulatory obligations through the use of more structured processes
