Approach
How we problem solve.
Because we are humans solving legal problems for other humans, our framework is designed to keep our customer at the center while we solve their eDiscovery challenges and identify additional opportunities to provide them with exceptional experiences.
Our framework may take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to complete, depending on their eDiscovery and managed review challenges staring down our customer. We systematically go through each phase to ensure the final outcome will be the best one for our customer, and we hold each other accountable to the highest levels of excellence.

Our Framework
Understand.
During this phase, we work to step away from any assumptions and guesses about what our customers needs, and let our research findings inform our decision-making. We learn more about our customers, their problems, wants, and needs, and the environment or context in which they will use the solution we offer.

Our Framework
Define.
During the Define phase, we analyze our research findings from the Understand phase and determine what is the most important problem to solve — and why. This step defines the goal. Then we can give a clear problem statement, describing what our customers’ needs are that we are trying to solve, making sure that we heard and defined their problem correctly.

Our Framework
Solve.
This phase is an important part of the discipline in our process. People often settle for the first solution, but the most obvious solution is often not the right one. During the Solve phase, we brainstorm collaboratively with multiple stakeholders to generate many unique solutions. We then analyze our potential solutions and make choices about which are the best to pursue based on learnings in the Understand phase.

Our Framework
Build and Test.
This phase is critical in developing the right solution to our customers’ problem. An organized approach to testing can help avoid rework and create exceptional outcomes. Starting small and testing the solution, we iterate quickly, before deploying solutions across the entire project.

Our Framework
Act.
During this phase, the hard work of prior phases comes to life in our customers’ best solution. The research, collaboration, and testing performed prior to project kick-off ensure optimal results.

Our Framework
Feedback.
At the project completion, we convene all stakeholders to discuss what went well, what could have been better, and how we might improve going forward. We call these meetings “Retrospectives,” and we perform them internally as a project team, and with our external customers. The Retrospective is one of the most powerful, meaningful tools in our framework.
Why do we use this framework in offering legal services?
We want to empower our customers to make better decisions.
Many people want more input and oversight of the process they’re going through. They want a collaborative relationship with their provider.
We want to remove any fear of uncertainty.
We show our customers our process-based system, outlining each step and various pathways from beginning to end.
We want to foster a collaborative relationship.
We share details with our customers, explaining the “why” and the “how” in our solutions. We expect them to contribute because we know this leads to much better results.
We want to simplify their lives.
Our solutions are elegant, clear, and simple. Our framework ensures we offer our customers the best solution for their problem at hand. Too many options hinder a successful outcome.
Making Legal Human:
A Level Legal Manifesto
Enlightened hospitality.

Our inspiration? Danny Meyer. No, he’s not an attorney. He’s probably the best restaurateur of modern times. From Shake Shack to Gramercy Tavern and Eleven Madison Park, Meyer’s business model of offering “Enlightened hospitality” to his patrons has been key to his success — and now ours.
What do we love about enlightened hospitality?
The virtuous cycle of Enlightened Hospitality sets aside the idea of shareholders first, or even the customer, and places the employee front and center. This has to be true because no customer can ever be happier than the employee is when they show up for work. And when it comes to the customer, “The service is the technical delivery of a product,” Meyer writes. “Hospitality is how the delivery of that product makes its recipient feel.”
And this proven approach pervades not only how we hire and how we work, but also goes much deeper into our belief of why we even exist. In an industry hungry for human authenticity and understanding, Level Legal just likes to feed people — from our personal service and excellent solutions to good times with our customers around dinner tables as well.
