4 What s On Your Mind, Asia Pacific? Who are the ultimate clients? How to measure the performance and value of the Legal Department? Should Contract Management and/or Compliance be within Legal? Centralised vs. Decentralised Legal Teams? How to resolve conflicting objectives and KPIs Should I link Legal Department performance to company performance and if so, how? How to measure problems and costs avoided How do I assess and predict resourcing needs? How to measure and improve Internal Headcount Quantity How to measure and improve Internal Headcount Quality What talent training should Law Firms provide? What are the key strategic points in managing External Counsel? Page 4

18 Like Malcolm Gladwell s Tipping Point and Jim Collins Good to Great, Faure s The Smarter Legal Model is the rare book that will be read with equal interest and appreciation by both practitioners and academics. It is destined to become an important part of any conversation about the role of law and lawyers in the global economy. Professsor David B. Wilkins, Harvard Law School He shows...the holy grail of business productivity... Bursting with ideas, his book is a "must read" for business people and the lawyers who work with them. Ben W. Heineman, Jr., Former GE Senior Vice President for Law Faure offers a set of tools to help reduce costs, increase legal coverage, improve compliance, and increase client satisfaction. More ambitiously, he casts aside the traditional, often fraught, commercial relationship between law firms and their clients and replaces this with a species of partnership arrangement, under which the business interests of the in-house lawyers and their external advisers are much better aligned. Professor Richard Susskind from The End of Lawyers? Video: see Bloomberg TV: Modernising legal services & Law Firm Business Development or The American Lawyer The Smarter Legal Model Page 18
