In our last blog
we tried to comprehend what litigation or legal matter is and what are the
steps involved in litigation management. I hope the blog would have been useful
to create a blueprint of legal case
management in your mind! It’s time to take a step forward and understand
how organisations are tackling their legal matters.
Before going
further, I would recall one understanding from our previous blog and that is:
Litigation is a very complex process and a lot of tangible and non tangible
assets are on stake when a law suit is going on! Keeping the above statement in mind, let us
move on to see how an organisation structures its legal team. In majority of
the organisations, there is a central legal team that reports directly to the
management and controls all the divisional and regional team of counsels.

Figure 2: Functionalities of
regional team Figure 3: Functionalities
of central team
It is evident
that the load on the central team is very much. It is difficult to cope up with
dynamic changes in events related to case and then creating an effective
communication with different regional teams at the same time. There are huge
chances of missing on a deadline, missing on some useful information about the
case and increase in expenditure. The teams at the centre generally compile the
case information manually and there is a huge potential of some human error
that may occur and jeopardize the situation.
Other issue that
pops up is the availability of regional teams at right place and at right time.
It is very important that teams at different branches are available and that
too loaded with all information else there can be data loss. Time plays a
significant role in any legal matter and local teams need to get all the
approvals and plans before the date of hearing. If it is not done then the
organisation might be in loss on the day of hearing which may ultimately lead
to damage to the reputation and loss in the business.
After going through the above blog you might
have got an idea of how an organisation manages its litigation and the
structure it follows for its legal team. You might have also got a gist of what
challenges an organisation faces while doing legal case management. The
challenges mentioned over here are just the tip of an iceberg that you are able
to see, there is a huge block under the sea which we would be discussing in our
