Level Legal and Freshfields Named Winner of The American Lawyer Industry Award for Best Provider Collaboration

Dec 4, 2021

DALLAS, TX-December 4,2021-Level Legal is honored to announce they are the winner of the 2021 American Lawyer Industry Award for Best Provider Collaboration, along with their co-collaborator for the award submission, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. Freshfields is one of the largest and most prestigious international law firms. Level Legal is a global elite legal services provider. This distinction honors the unique type of collaboration clients seek to most effectively and efficiently handle their matters. The criteria focused on how two teams came to work together on a matter and how they best brought forward their specific business models, capabilities, and skill sets to jointly solve the client’s problem. The award-winning submission was based on work done collaboratively between Level Legal and the Washington, D.C. antitrust practice of Freshfields. Level Legal supported Freshfields on previous matters and that existing relationship, combined with Level Legal’s experience in antitrust reviews, led to Freshfields’ selecting them to handle a particularly complex, voluminous DOJ second request. Selecting Level Legal enabled Freshfields lawyers to focus on higher value, strategic initiatives while also controlling costs for the client.“We could not be prouder that this award is really honoring the project teams and their good work,” said Level Legal CEO Joey Seeber. “It also helps that the two organizations share a similar purpose and set of values. This gives us a common sense of identity throughout a matter. It allows us to work at the speed of trust, and to win an award specifically for collaboration? It doesn’t get any better.”

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 & 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.
