Legal Operations is a relatively new discipline in law, with an industry point of view on “what good looks like”.
The ACC and CLOC have detailed descriptions of the capabilities and competencies and the degrees of maturity desirable in each dimension.
A&O’s framework was inspired by these industry best practice models. In fact, TIAA is now a member of the ACC maturity model committee.

A&O Operating Model for Administrative Support
New Model
Demand Assessment
Pre-Change Resources
Dedicated point of contact for tiers 2-5, including back-ups and after-hours Staff located in all A&O hubs for on-site support Virtual Admins for scalability and highest and best use Centralized accountability under A&O’s COO New technology to facilitate workload balancing Currently 11+1 onshore and 6+1 offshore
22 Admins across A&O offices Some tasks are better done offshore (3 tasks = 50%) Inconsistent day-to-day oversight/management
Demand has decreased, expectations up True demand = 8 FTEs of total effort New model calls for 12 onshore Admins ~40% flex capacity (~60% utilization)
30
The Design Journey for New Administrative Support Center of Excellence
Starting with insights from new data and,
New Data:• Activity Analysis• VOC• Bottoms up demand assessment
Insights:• 50% of activity offshoreable• Modern leaders use admins differently• Admins thrive with a community
Modern tools/innovation:• Manila based admins (RRD)• Work-sharing technology• Email for help
Intentional design:• Top performers and centralized management• Demand-based capacity with 40% slack• On-location availability• Follow-the-sun• Engaging work
Outcomes:• 35% net cost savings ($1M)• Flexible capacity, scalable model• Better availability and service levels• Up-skilled, engaged staff
leveraging modern tools and innovative capabilities,
and employing intentional, disciplined design
to achieve significant improvement change in outcomes.

A&O - Knowledge Management Roadmap
33
Migrate to the cloud…enable modern functionality, across legal enterprise. (Available on phones in 2H20)
Deploy “iManage Work 10” to A&O…google-like search for prior work product across A&O (O&A possible)
Train A&O users…initial and ongoing
Integrate iManage and Onit…search files in Onit (3Q20)
Records management and retention…enforce policy (4Q20)

No contract technology (AI, CLM)
Only 1.7% offshore leverage
Reduce project management/sourcing burden by 9%-15% with Contract Lifecycle Management system (Onit, $200k investment)
Reduced reviews needed by implementing standards
Reduce contract review time with AI (e.g., Kira, LegalSifter, LawGeex)
Outsource ~50% of high risk contracts to ALSP/LPO (e.g., Cadence)
Offshore all low risk contracts to TIAA India
Entire function managed by 2 onshore TIAA A&O employees
