Whitepaper Reimagines Legal Workflows for the Data-Driven Age
Lineal, in collaboration with The Cowen Group, proudly announces the release of a forward-looking whitepaper: “From Paper Maps to GPS: Reimagining Legal Workflows for the Data-Driven Age.”
Produced by a Cowen Group-led cohort of legal operations and technology experts from some of the world’s most respected firms, corporations, and government institutions, the whitepaper addresses the urgent need to modernize legal workflows for a rapidly evolving, data-centric landscape.
As legal teams confront mounting pressure to adapt to growing data volumes, shifting client expectations, and regulatory complexity, traditional legal workflows—often static and inefficient—no longer suffice. Drawing on the GPS metaphor, the white paper explores how legal teams can shift from outdated workflows to more adaptive, data-driven systems.
Key highlights from the whitepaper include:
- Insights from 18 legal leaders across companies such as IBM, The Home Depot, Barclays, McKesson, and WilmerHale
- An analysis of current challenges such as resistance to change, data silos, and integration issues
- Four success factors to support transformation: understanding key drivers, pinpointing automation opportunities, focusing on incremental wins, and building champion networks
- Actionable strategies for moving from static processes to dynamic, adaptable workflows
“It was energizing to hear so many professionals open up about the real challenges they’re facing. At Lineal, we see those same patterns every day. From fragmented workflows to shifting client demands, this paper highlights them with clarity and gives us a chance to show how we’re helping solve them.”
— Jeanne Somma, Chief Client Officer and GC, Lineal
“This paper is what happens when smart people think out loud together—one insight sparking the next like a relay race of ideas. We elevate and accelerate each other’s careers.”
— David Cowen, President, The Cowen Group
