Predictable legal costs.
Better outcomes.
Delivered.

CounselOps helps legal departments regain control of outside counsel spend without adding tools, headcount, or internal complexity. We take responsibility for sourcing, pricing discipline, and execution so in-house teams can focus on legal judgment, not process.

WHAT CLIENTS ACHIEVE

Defensible cost savings

Market-tested smart sourcing that holds up under scrutiny.

Predictable pricing

Fewer surprises across matters, firms, and billing cycles.

Faster sourcing cycles

Accelerated engagement without sacrificing quality or control.

Reduced internal burden

Less lift for Legal Ops, Finance, and executive leadership.

Sustainable governance

A repeatable operating model, not one-off savings exercises.

Operating discipline

Not a procurement event but a durable way of working.

Why CounselOps

You know what to do. We help you execute it consistently.

Most legal teams understand what strong outside counsel management requires. The challenge is time, structure, and market leverage.

CounselOps operates as an extension of your team, bringing market context, pricing discipline, hands-on execution, and accountability for outcomes.

Execution, not advice

We run the process end to end, not just provide a platform.

Market leverage, built in

Competitive sourcing and price discipline are designed into the workflow.

We stay engaged

We do not sell software and walk away. We stay involved and deliver results.
