Legal teams aren’t short on work - they’re slowed down by how that work gets done. Over time, increasing regulatory pressure, data volume, and stakeholder demands have created a compounding “complexity tax” that impacts speed, cost, and consistency.
Over the past 20 years, the only constant in the legal industry has been the steady growth in work complexity. Every organization has felt the consequences of approximately 50 percent more laws, 200 percent more regulations, and 40 to 60 percent annual corporate data growth. For corporate legal departments globally, this equates to an annual and compounding ‘complexity tax’ which is, on average, 3-5 percent growth in legal budgets.
The teams making progress aren’t chasing a single solution - they’re redesigning how legal workflows. That means tightening intake and triage, standardizing repeatable work, routing matters to the right resource, and using technology where it actually removes friction.
Accelerating legal isn’t about doing more, it’s about making better decisions on what work gets done, how, and by whom.
