ELM Testimonial – Chemical Manufacturer

A global chemical manufacturing company needed to improve the transparency of its litigation spend, eliminate inefficiencies in how the litigation department was working with outside counsel, and more effectively manage the approval of timekeepers and rate increases. To overcome these challenges, their Deputy General Counsel was tasked with replacing its manual billing processes. After establishing their evaluation process, Questel’s Ascent ELM enterprise legal management solutions won the contract.

• Manage vendor rates and approve invoices within one system
• Improve matter data reporting for better transparency
• Innovate new processes such as fully-integrated legal holds
• Improve process compliance throughout their newly integrated Legal department

“One of the greatest benefits of having an ELM system in place is that nothing gets paid outside of that system, which improves our control of the invoicing process, “

stated the Deputy General Counsel.
