The legal and claims industries have been dramatically impacted by the changes in our economy over the past few years. Traditional industry norms have been replaced by new financial and operational mandates and realities.
These new mandates and realities are requiring corporations and insurance carriers to rework and rethink their relationships with outside counsel law firms and legal technology vendors.
In turn, law firms and legal technology vendors need to change the manner in which they offer their products and services to their clients.
This is where SpectoWise comes in.
SpectoWise is uniquely qualified to quickly and effectively allow corporate legal departments and insurance carriers to enhance their working relationships and operational engagements with their outside counsel law firms and legal and claims technology vendors.
Since 1989, the principals at SpectoWise have advised and implemented business process improvement and cost management systems for over 75 Fortune 500 corporations, hundreds of law firms of all sizes and worked with dozens of technology vendors to enhance and optimize their client deliverables with a strategic and operational focus.

SpectoWise has the expertise and knowledge to do this effectively.
Outsourced Vendor Management
Decision makers, specially General Counsel and Litigation Executives, should not be wasting valuable time and energy managing their legal technology vendors.
Let SpectoWise do it instead.
Law Firm Positioning
The relationship between outside counsel law firms and their clients should be mutually beneficial.
Spectowise can probably position your law firm in today's marketplace.
Corporate General Counsel and insurance carrier Litigation and Claims Executives are under new and increasing pressures to manage their operations in a cost effective and compliant manner.
New federal regulations and an emphasis on budgets, security and compliance controls and regulations are major operational factors and no longer optional or conceptual.
The primary mission of law firms is to practice law and offer legal services.
The primary mission of legal technology vendors is solely to offer software and hardware to manage legal and claims data.
The primary mission of legal consultancies is to sell market reserach and general advice.
SpectoWise is different.
SpectoWise puts it all together.
SpectoWise quickly and effectively aggregates, associates and analyzes all sources of legal and claims spend data, creating highly customized and actionable operational and strategic metrics reports - which help decision makers determine best practices and make effective business decisions.
Every SpectoWise engagement begins with a simple conversation.
A conversation about your specific and individual goals and objectives - a discussion sbout what should change for the better, what information you would ike to see, what's missing.
This initial consultation is provided at no charge.
From there, SpectoWise drafts a clear, simple and concise proposal detailing how we can help.
SpectoWise operates on an cost-effective retainer and hourly basis.
