DuPont Legal Model

In the early 1990s, the legal department at DuPont launched an initiative to reduce the number of external law firms employed, streamline the management of more than 4,000 legal cases, and meet global litigation challenges. The DuPont experience can teach not only how to manage complex litigation in a global environment but also how to make knowledge management programs succeed in any professional services company. Using electronic document retrieval, knowledge stewards, collaboration, culture change, and leveraging expert know-how, it is possible to realize significant cost savings and to promote revenue generation.
