DuPont Network News: In April 2011, MRC was honored to receive the DuPont Challenge Award. Click here to read more about this distinction.
The following is an overview written by DuPont about the DuPont Legal Model. Since 2005, MRC has been a Primary Service Provider for the DuPont Legal Network. For more information about the model, go to dupontlegalmodel.com
For corporate law departments and the law firms that serve them, the DuPont Legal Model offers instructive principles and processes that can improve the practice of corporate law.
Since 1992, the DuPont Legal Model has given us a framework for meeting new challenges and guided us through a period of tremendous change. By applying "business discipline" to the practice of law, the Legal Model has focused our resources and made strategic partnering, information technology, metrics, diversity and other initiatives the cornerstones of our approach.
As a result, we've cut costs, increased productivity, improved the quality of our services and seized new opportunities like never before. But perhaps most important, the Model has solidified relationships among our staff members, Primary Law Firms and Service Providers, and today we are all members of a network with a common vision and a unifying goal.
Such benefits, however, are not reserved for us alone. The Legal Model can help your organization, and the Web site will show you how. Here you'll find a comprehensive introduction to the Model. You'll also learn about the law firms and service providers with whom we work, about our Minority Job Fairs and other special projects and events, and about Six Sigma and our other initiatives. You'll also gain access to free online resources and be able to join discussions and offer feedback.
But for a more complete picture of the Model and a blueprint for your own success, we invite you to review our book - "The Competitive Edge - The Growing Power of the DuPont Legal Model. " - or order one for your own library.
We hope that you find this information interesting and helpful, and we thank you for your interest in the DuPont Legal Model.
