About this listen

Episode 3 examines how lessons from IT’s vendor management mistakes can guide legal operations in building smarter, more resilient supplier ecosystems.

Thomas Pearson and Dino Eliopulos revisit IT’s history of over-reliance on single vendors, mega-project failures, and weak governance — and map these pitfalls to today’s legal panels and law firm engagements. They argue for outcome-based incentives, greater transparency, and continuous evaluation as the hallmarks of the “panel of the future.”

Key takeaways:

  • Why over-consolidation and bloated panels both undermine value.
  • How to balance global firms, niche specialists, and innovative providers in a modern ecosystem.
  • The importance of outcome-based pricing and transparency in reshaping law firm relationships.

For legal ops leaders, this conversation offers a blueprint for evolving vendor relationships into strategic partnerships, supported by governance, performance metrics, and technology platforms.
