Rethinking the Outside Counsel RFP: What Drives Better Decisions

What separates RFP myth from best practice in outside counsel selection.


Most in-house legal teams still select outside counsel the same way they always have. A shortlist of familiar firms, a few calls, and a decision that comes down to relationships. That works until it doesn’t.

RFPs can help legal teams make more informed, value-driven decisions, but many departments struggle to build a process that produces meaningful results.

Join Jason Winmill, Chair of the Buying Legal Council and one of the legal industry’s most experienced practitioners in legal sourcing and outside counsel management y, along with Onit’s legal expert Jeffrey Solomon, as they break down what separates RFP myth from best practice.

You will walk away knowing how to:

  • To use RFPs to gather more meaningful and comparable information across firms
  • Evaluate outside counsel on value and fit, not just cost
  • Bring more structure and consistency to outside counsel selection
  • Keep the gains from your RFP from fading once firms are selected
