Delivering What Clients Want Through Lean Methodology

Alex Geisler is a London-based litigation partner with Duane Morris and the creator of the Lean Law Program.

He practices in the areas of commercial litigation and dispute resolution and is well-known in the auto industry as a manufacturer’s lawyer, defending automakers and suppliers in global litigation. His responsibilities on behalf of clients include the selection and quality monitoring of external law firms on a worldwide basis.

The roots of what would become his Lean Law Program go back to his early representations of auto manufacturers. As Alex worked more closely with these clients, he experimented with their approaches to process improvement and project management in a successful effort to deliver legal services more efficiently and effectively. He adapted these ideas along with insights from other industries, clients and his own experiences to complete the Lean Law Program.

Alex has developed bespoke training programs for the law departments of corporate clients. He is an accredited trainer and author on topics including legal process optimization, knowledge management, negotiation, process mapping and scenario planning.
