CLANZ Report wins international award

The ACLA/CLANZ Legal Department Benchmarking Report has won a major international award.

Designed to help companies and government agencies get the best value from their legal function, the Report received an APEX 2009 Award of Excellence in the United States. The Report earlier won a Gold medal in the 2009 New Zealand annual “Pride In Print” Awards.

“These awards are great recognition for legal leaders who had the vision to support a detailed research report on the use of lawyers, bringing this sort of international resource to New Zealand and Australia”, said CLANZ Executive Officer Helen Mackay.

“Especially in difficult economic times, good benchmarking can often repay the investment many times over with strategies to save money and management time.”

An article published in the United States by the Report’s author, Team Factors’ Ron Pol, also won an Apex Award. “Ready, Fire, Aim” addresses difficulties in implementing good legal department strategies. The article appeared as one of a regular column in ACC Docket, the magazine of the Association of Corporate Counsel, the world’s largest community of in-house counsel, with more than 24,000 members in over 80 countries.
