We transform the way legal services are delivered
At PwC, we help legal departments evolve into true strategic business partners.
Our NewLaw approach combines legal expertise, technology and operational excellence to transform the delivery of legal services.
Our team provides, among others, the following legal advisory services in the area of NewLaw:
The optimization and transformation of the legal department starts from the recognition of growing pressures to deliver faster, more relevant and cost-effective services, which requires structural changes that go beyond simple technological adoption and incremental improvements.
The focus is on the collaborative redefinition between legal and business operations, the evaluation and adjustment of operating models and the adoption of automation and LegalTech that increase quality, consistency, effectiveness and speed in the support given by legal teams, enabling teams to deliver work of greater value.
Our team combines PwC methodologies, an in-depth knowledge in the provision of legal services and the analysis of appropriate management indicators, offering a structured approach to identify, quantify and sequence opportunities for improvement in the legal function.
Legal departments are pressured to deliver a greater volume of legal services with a smaller budget. We help clients reduce costs by supporting them in day-to-day legal tasks and operations.
Our Managed Legal Services offer brings together the experience of one of the largest global law firm networks with best-in-class technology and in-depth knowledge in the design of efficient processes, providing clients with an optimized service.
We design and implement scalable models for the provision of legal services, integrating people, processes and technology. We act as an extension of the in-house legal team, freeing up resources for strategic activities and ensuring consistency, quality and efficiency.
Legal functions are under increasing pressure to demonstrate timely, relevant and cost-effective services to their in-house clients. These pressures are driving the creation of strategic plans to reduce costs and optimize teams.
However, the transformation of the legal department is not just about applying new technologies, because these types of initiatives rarely create enough momentum to generate higher performance and greater value.
The transformation of the legal department requires a change in the way legal operations and Businesses work together, and the outcome depends on how well people embrace the change and practice it creatively.
The effective use of technological solutions is crucial for efficiency, agility, risk management and support to decision-making, but the market for LegalTech solutions is new, dynamic and often surrounded by high expectations, making it difficult to isolate and verify the right solution for the effective needs of each team.
Our LegalTech practice allows us to support you in the selection, implementation, integration and maintenance of LegalTech systems as part of your wider business technology ecosystem or as a service.
We support our clients in the selection, conception, design and implementation of this type of solutions — from artificial intelligence platforms to Contract Lifecycle Management solutions. Our approach is flexible and collaborative, ensuring integration with existing systems and adaptation to the specific context of each organization.
