Negotiating, implementing, and managing Outside Counsel Guidelines requires continuous diligence from law firm risk teams. With clients increasingly tightening cost controls and introducing new complexities around AI governance, managing OCGs requires constant attention.
In this roundtable webinar, a panel of risk leaders will take stock of the current state of the OCG landscape and share their real-world observations, perspectives, and recommendations for keeping up with industry trends and good practices.
Focused on real-world experience and practical guidance, they’ll explore:
- How their firms are adapting policy, process, and technology to manage client OCGs
- Existing and emerging trends in client terms of engagement
- Advice for flagging and navigating client contradictions — particularly around firm use of AI
- Thoughts on navigating escalations management
- Perspectives on team organization, staffing, and skills alignment
This session will be recorded — We hope you’ll be able to join us. And we encourage you to bring questions, stories, and suggestions to share with your peers at the event.
