Corporate Counsel Magazine bestows the top legal department honors to GE for being both visionary and great at implementation. Our friend, Jay Brudz, Senior Counsel for Legal Technology, spends about 2 million dollars with a staff of 10 creating systems to facilitate the work of the Office of the General Counsel. Just one of those systems drops a cool $75 million of productivity improvements to the bottom line.
See the article here for department wide innovations, including counsel convergence, preventative law and early case assessment.
Yes, I know, the blinding number is the $2 million budget for non-litigation specific proactive work. Jay and the entire legal team have a great process orientation, allowing them to quantify impacts.
Congratulations!
