This conferenc organized by IPQC, addresses the rethinking, redesigning and renegotiating your legal spend to improve forecasting, risk management and significantly reduce legal costs. Corporate law departments are under pressure to do more with less. With legal fees continuing to climb and litigation costs increasing, unprecedented economic pressures mean corporate legal budgets are under more scrutiny than ever.

General counsel must take a hard look at their legal spend and ask themselves if the legal work they are receiving is being performed by the best firms for the best price. In addition compliance requirements demand greater transparency into legal spend, liability exposure, and the necessity to directly align results with value received.

How can you take control of your legal spend and strike the right balance between your budget and the company's legal requirements?

ECLA's General Manager Paul de Jonge will be among the speakers. Other speakers are ECLA's sponsor Eversheds and Nestle, EY, Sara Lee, Tyco, DuPont, Alstom, Carillion, Genpact and MAN Diesel.

ECLA members will benefit a 20% of the attendance fee.
