Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are pleased to share with you our spring/summer edition of The Column newsletter. This edition is chock full of information on how strategic management of both people and documents directly impacts the efficiency and profitability of your organization. As the legal industry continues to thrive, our clients and strategic partners have raised some common issues and concerns and we share with you our thoughts on some of the most prominent topics currently facing legal departments nationwide.
Staff retention, whether for your direct staff or a team of contract professionals, is a key component to running a successful department. Staff departures result in workload disruptions which, in turn, directly impact your bottom line. Our recruiters offer some important advice on how to keep your folks content and "on board". In this edition we also tackle issues involving electronic document discovery and selecting court reporting services - both important components to the profitability of your firm.
As always, we welcome any suggestions, comments or questions you would like to share with us so that we may incorporate your thoughts into future editions of the newsletter. Please email us at
column@specialcounsel.com. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Jodi L. Nadler
Vice President, Special Counsel
