Case Study: Ausgrid achieves better legal spend visibility with Lawcadia

When transformation was a strategic imperative, Lawcadia provided the transparency, data and consistent processes for success

Ausgrid, a large infrastructure organisation undergoing a significant ownership transition, faced a major challenge in its legal function with a lack of accurate systems for tracking matters and spend. Their new General Counsel identified substantial discrepancies in legal fees and needed a platform for approvals, cost tracking, and spend visibility. They turned to vendor Lawcadia for its solution.

Lawcadia implemented its platform, training Ausgrid's team and panel law firms to achieve a rapid go-live. The solution provided Ausgrid with the ability to easily approve engagements, monitor legal spend against budget, and better manage their law firm panel. The implementation was a success, with the General Counsel highlighting the system's critical role in accurately tracking matters and spend across the legal function.
