Selection and Retention of Law Firms within Western Europe

Selection and Retention of Law Firms Within Western Europe There is no shortage of work for lawyers in Western Europe - but in-house lawyers are becoming increasingly selective about which law firms they engage with and consequently, as competition grows, it is becoming more important to understand how law firms are both selected and retained on law firm panels. 


A new study commissioned by LexisNexis® Martindale-Hubbell® in association with The Global Legal Post examines some of the processes involved in the selection and retention of law firms and aims to delve a little deeper to understand the reason behind successful, long-term relationships between external law firms and in-house teams.

The study "Selection and Retention of Law Firms within Western Europe" covers:

  • Selection factors and reasons for reviews of panel firms and frequency
  • Factors influencing the retention of firms for future work
  • Top Reasons for the removal of firms for preferred panels/lists
  • Approach takenby in-house counsel to evaluate law firm performance and common themes in feedback
  • Value-adding elements of relationships
