How we do it: unique approach
Smarter Law is performance improvement using world-class behavioural economics. Proven business improvement processes, such as Six Sigma, Agile and Design Thinking are combined with behavioural sciences such as Neuro Linguistic Programming and Game Theory - all of which were applied in real-life transformations by the legal leader of some of the World's most renown companies.
[Smarter Law is]..a set of tools to help reduce costs, increase legal coverage, improve compliance, and increase client satisfaction. [Smarter Law] casts aside the traditional, often fraught, commercial relationship between law firms and their clients and replaces this with a species of partnership arrangement, under which the business interests of the in-house lawyers and their external advisers are much better aligned.

By combining cutting-edge insights from management theory, economics, psychology and linguistics, [Smarter Law] demonstrates how general counsel can collect and apply empirical data to significantly improve their company's legal coverage, while dramatically reducing overall legal costs - all the while raising the satisfaction of business clients and improving relations with outside counsel.
