September Coffee Break: Smart 2027 Budgeting and Office Spend Optimization
Law firm office occupancy recently averaged just 46.2% in July, yet many firms continue to carry legacy staffing models, outsourcing contracts, equipment, storage, and supply programs forward year after year. As 2027 budgeting begins, now is the time to ask whether your office services spend reflects how your firm actually operates today. This session is focused on practical opportunities to reduce costs, improve efficiencies, and challenge the status quo as you build your 2027 budget.
We explore targeted savings opportunities across key operational areas:
Outsourcing: Right-sizing service levels and contract scope.
Administrative Services: Streamlining, consolidating, outsourcing, or automating workflows.
Off-site Records: Eliminating ongoing storage fees for unnecessary physical records.
Office Supplies: Reducing spend through standardization and smarter purchasing.
Output & Print: Re-evaluating device footprints to match current hybrid work patterns.
