The team reviewed 16 years of cases to glean insights into how future matters could be handled more efficiently. This included development of process maps for litigation, assignment maps and work streams, automated budget tracking and an online collaboration portal.

Over four years, as the number of litigation matters rose by 35 percent, the time spent per matter dropped by 39 percent. The Husch Blackwell/Express Scripts collaboration was recognized as a Value Champion in 2017 by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC).
