Value Strategies by UpLevel Ops

Value Strategies is now part of UpLevel Ops, merging deep expertise in value-based legal spend solutions with UpLevel Ops’ award-winning approach to Legal Operations. Led by industry expert Ken Callander, a pioneer in value-based pricing and outside counsel management, we support clients in developing strategic and tactical programs to dramatically reduce total legal spend, increase administrative efficiency, and achieve operational excellence.

 

What We Do
We help clients significantly reduce legal spend through active outside counsel management programs. Our programs typically result in outside counsel savings of 20% – 50% while providing increased budget predictability across all practice areas. These programs include support in transitioning from hourly rate structures to value-based fee arrangements through the use of competitive bidding processes, changing the focus to paying for deliverables and results instead of hours billed. This transition also eliminates the need for an internal invoice review process, allowing the in-house team to focus on substantive legal work instead.

 

Our Commitment to Corporate Legal Departments
In today’s dynamic business environment, legal departments face increasing demands to operate with the same strategic and operational rigor as other corporate units.
 

Recognizing these challenges, we offer tailored solutions designed to:


– Reduce Outside Counsel Spend: Implementing active management programs that typically result in 20% or more savings while enhancing budget predictability.
– Enhance Operational Efficiency: Minimizing time spent by in-house attorneys on process and administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on substantive legal matters.
– Develop Strategic Plans: Crafting and executing departmental strategies with clear metrics aligned to corporate objectives.
 

Our integrated approach encompasses:
– Outside Counsel Relationship Management: Reviewing and developing guidelines, optimizing vendor arrangements for value and predictability, implementing effective matter management tools, and sourcing specialized legal talent as needed.
– Value-Based Pricing and Alternative Fee Arrangements: Transitioning from traditional hourly billing to value-based models that align fees with deliverables and results, providing training and coaching on alternative fee structures, and setting clear expectations for outside counsel.
– Legal Operations Optimization: Evaluating and implementing technology solutions, strategic planning with robust metrics, and continuous process improvement initiatives.
