About the Law Department Operations Survey 

Results show that these professionals have myriad managerial responsibilities in the law department. They “direct” or “manage” tasks related to budget management; resource and operations management; project management and systems administration; development of non-attorney staff as well as most purchasing, especially in the area of technology. Furthermore, they also have substantial responsibility related to outside counsel management and attorney development.   A fact that is amplified by their expanding role within the in-house law department and companywide.
