A CLE-accredited LegalBillReview.com webinar on evaluating outside counsel bill review across three stages: detection, judgment, and resolution

AI billing tools can flag invoice anomalies at scale, but when law firms push back on proposed reductions, AI can't negotiate. Learn why in-house legal teams and legal operations leaders are asking why their AI-assisted outside counsel spend programs underperform, and how combining AI efficiency with attorney-led legal bill review produces adjustments that actually stick.

This webinar recap explains how legal departments are managing outside counsel spend in 2025, including practical insights on enforcing outside counsel guidelines, identifying overbilling, improving invoice review workflows, and addressing bandwidth and budget constraints. It summarizes current survey data from CLOC, Thomson Reuters, and LegalBillReview.com, and outlines real-world strategies used by mature legal ops teams to control costs, strengthen law firm management, and align legal operations with business goals. If you’re searching for clear, data-backed guidance on modern outside counsel management, billing review, or legal operations strategy, this summary and the full webinar provide a comprehensive, up-to-date resource.
