What to Expect from Feit Consulting in 2018

By Michael Feit | Feit Consulting

2018 will be an exciting year! Feit Consulting is expanding our solutions and services around Library Modernization. Our webinar series will continue. This coming year, we will launch a Librarian Mentoring program. Our goal is to take the vision of the Modern Library and work with our clients in implementing it, to continue towards making the Library a place of excellence.

Feit Consulting is not siloed to working with only large firms. We work with smaller clients, government entities, law libraries, and corporations on an array of legal information needs and projects ranging from contract management and negotiations to steps for moving towards a Modern Library.

We continue our work on making the good fight with the vendors on pricing and terms. Focusing on metrics, tools and technology to empower firms and organizations to understand their ROI on the products and services the Library offers.

On-Demand Consulting

By Michael Feit | Feit Consulting

Feit Consulting introduced a new program this past year, FEIT360. In this program, firms/organizations choose a base number of hours per month for consulting use – minimally 1 hour per month. This hour may be used for legal information management questions, benchmarking contracts and a variety of projects.

Unused hours are rolled over to future months. Firms/organizations may request additional consulting hours for larger projects as they arise. Approximate number of hours needed to complete a project are provided ahead of time to ensure no big surprise on your bill. Fees have a monthly cap to limit the cost exposure to the firm/organization, allowing for ease in budgeting and expense outlay.

FEIT360 is a subscription plan, cancellable at anytime. Have your legal information questions answered when needed. Perhaps a question about an invoice or determining whether to make your contract co-terminus, FEIT360 offers flexibility while meeting your legal information needs.

Feit Presenting at ARK on the Modern Library February 22nd

By Michael Feit | Feit Consulting , Modern Law Library

Upcoming in February, Feit Consulting will present on Beyond Virtualization: Transforming the Law Library at the Ark Group’s 12th annual Law Firm Library, Research & Information Services conference.

What is the Modern Law Library? The role of library services within firms and organizations has shifted. Rather than being a target of downsizing or outsourcing, librarians need to move beyond traditional research roles reinventing themselves to support the business of law. Administration needs to be open to the new roles the modern law library can play. Without this support, library modernization cannot be fully realized.

Feit Consulting’s program addresses the steps firms need to take for maximum efficiency and delivery of legal information resources and the role of the Modern Library. Feit Consulting’s Michael Feit, President & Founder and Monice Kaczorowski, Vice-President of Library Strategy and Innovation will lead the program by sharing their research on library modernization and how this is defined. A panel discussion with key experts from the field will speak on the “Big Picture” of Librarians as disruptors, how to change the stereotypical image of the librarian, how to run the Library as a business and the importance of interdepartmental support and technology. Panelists include

  • Shabeer Khan, Director of Research Services with Morrison & Foerster LLP sharing his views on the Value of Running the Library as a Business.
  • Greg Lambert, Chief Knowledge Services Officer with Jackson Walker sharing his view on The “Big Picture” of Librarians as Disruptors and their Role in the Modern Library.
  • Nancy Rine, Director of Research Services and Conflicts with Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP sharing her views on the Importance of Interdepartmental Support & Technology – Tenets of the Modern Library.

The conference is taking place in New York this coming February 22, 2018.  For more information, click here for the conference details.

How Feit Benchmarks

By Michael Feit | Contract Negotiations , Feit Consulting

Feit Consulting has legal-information market intelligence dating back to 2001. Each year, Feit Consulting conducts law firm interviews, audits, and surveys. In the last twelve months, we have connected with more than 200 firms, gathering a large array of intelligence to fine-tune our market view. Feit Consulting utilizes an observed median derived from these learnings when developing our benchmarks. The median is our opinion of the mid-mark data point by which half of the market is above and half is below.

Data is continually monitored and benchmarks are recalibrated by Feit Consulting’s Legal Information Research Team. Benchmarks will be tweaked when pertinent market changes take place, influencing the relative strength of each vendor. Pertinent market changes would include a significant new competitor, product features, content, changing preferences, and/or compelling pricing.

Feit Consulting does not disseminate firm-specific information, and is compliant with all signed non-disclosure agreements. Feit Consulting adheres to third-party consultant non-disclosure agreements, and in accordance, does not utilize nor aggregate client information.
