Focusing on how in-house counsel think when it comes to selecting, managing and collaborating with outside counsel, "Inside the Mind of the Client" has won critical acclaim from leading legal industry thought-leaders and has been presented to a handful of leading law firms at partner meetings. This highly quantitative  discussion will present statistics from national surveys of Chief Legal Officers and other in-house counsel gathered by Inside Counsel, Association of Corporate Counsel, and other sources, on perceptions that outside counsel have about:

• How outside counsel under-perform and over-perform
• The largest legal department challenges and how outside counsel can help solve those challenges
• Billing missteps and how firms can prevent them
• The nuances of legal department pressures when it comes to outside counsel costs and how to be sensitive to those pressures.

The presentation includes extensive use of direct, off-the-record quotes from in-house counsel at leading companies on a range of relevant topics including thoughts on:

• The typical law firm proposal process
• Comments on surprises that law firms should avoid
• Problems with cross-selling
