News | COVID-19 Response Package for In-House Counsel

The coronavirus challenges for legal teams include:

• massive disruption to business-as-usual activities
• unchartered legal issues and expertise deficits
• strains on resources
• business pressures of providing timely responses
• whole-of-business impacts, including variables as to how your customers and suppliers respond
• juggling demands from business units who do not know the right questions to ask or supporting information to supply to get the right advice

Gadens has partnered with Lawcadia[1] to build COVID-19 Legal Workflow™ to help in-house legal teams identify and manage pandemic-related legal issues for triage.

Identification – we provide customised on-line tools to help business units independently identify the right issues without the need for internal guidance.

Management – the in-house team controls who provides the solution:

• Do it yourself and better manage your own workflows – we provide filtered instructions and supporting information to your team in a form that facilitates expeditious review by them.
• Outsource urgent work – where your team lacks the expertise or resources to respond quickly, we directly stream business unit instructions to expert external support. 

The product, developed and preconfigured with COVID-19 related workflow, can be fully customised to client requirements, enabled in a matter of days, and updated over time as further issues emerge. 

If you are interested in understanding how this can help your business, see https://www.lawcadia.com/covid19, or call or email your usual Gadens contact, or email covid19@gadens.com for more information.
