Legal Department Consultants

Argopoint is a leading legal department consulting firm dedicated to helping leading corporate legal departments with their most important management challenges.  We design and deliver management consulting solutions that enable our  clients to achieve leadership within their industry, enhance core legal and management capabilities, and operate at superior levels of performance.

Legal Department Consultants: An Unfilled Need

Corporate legal departments have been saturated with excellent legal expertise from outside counsel; however, there have been few advisers who have offered effective management consulting advice to legal department leaders.

We founded Argopoint to meet this unfilled, but nonetheless real, need articulated by our core clients; providing top corporate legal departments with innovative management strategies to run large, challenging, professional infrastructures that are under pressure to deliver results and increase economic efficiency. Our legal department consulting services improve the effectiveness of even the most capable legal organizations. 

Argopoint serves as a trusted adviser to leaders of some of the largest corporate legal departments in the world, providing superior management, business advice and support. Since 2005, our legal department consulting approach has been marked by a commitment to providing our clients with the highest-quality management advice and support.

Legal Department Consultants: Data-Driven & Insightful

As legal department consultants, we utilize time-tested managerial, quantitative, and analytical techniques.  However, we realize that "numbers" reveal only a partial explanation in the complex legal environment.  We rely on an in-depth assessment of our client’s situation and "fact-pattern" to reach a solution supported by facts, data and industry knowledge.

Legal Department Consultants: Working on the Forefront

Based on our innovative services, we are fortunate to have portfolio of clients that are among some of the largest business and non-profit organizations in the world.  They include: two of the top ten largest legal departments in the US, four of the Fortune 20, five Global 50 multi-nationals, a 400+ attorney in-house legal department, two of the FTSE 10, and the largest not-for-profit organization in the US.  Over a decade ago, we helped establish the premier forum for the most sophisticated in-house legal departments to share key learnings (see Buying Legal Council).

While we work with established companies, legal department consulting is still a relatively new field of consulting.  We encourage you to explore our resources and speak to us to gain a better understanding of how we have helped the legal departments of Fortune 500 companies with their most important management challenges. Our service offerings are  a “jumping-off point,” representing only a portion of our capabilities, which are as diverse as the aspirations our clients have for their own organizations. 

Understanding where your department is on the journey, and how progress on that path can be accelerated is a critical first step.  Argopoint's expertise and knowledge of leading departments "best-practices" are reasons why legal department leaders speak to us first when they want to get started.   Meaningful, sustainable improvements are not easy in the complex in-house legal context - an early conversation with an objective outside expert can improve the chances of success significantly.
