Blog: A GC’s Guide to Benchmarking Strategy, Operations, and Technology
Most GCs know their function could be operating more efficiently, but without a benchmark, it’s hard to know where to start.
At Everingham Legal, we run comprehensive benchmarking and maturity assessments across legal strategy, operations, and technology.
But the real value isn’t just in the report, it’s in the conversation that follows. Our benchmarking helps GCs move from anecdotal observations (“we’re busy”) to evidence-based insights (“here’s how our workload, systems, and spend compare to peers”).
How Benchmarking Helps Legal Teams
Our approach delivers tangible, actionable outcomes:
Strategic Clarity: Aligning legal priorities with broader business objectives.
Smarter Resourcing: Rebalancing budgets, people, and technology investments.
Executive Influence: Giving legal leaders the data to speak the language of the C-suite.
Targeted Improvement: Turning benchmarking results into a roadmap for performance, efficiency, and impact.
Why It Matters
In a world where expectations on legal are increasing faster than budgets, benchmarking is an essential leadership tool. It helps GCs lead with context, confidence, and credibility.
