Since 2012, I have written and spoken about the theme of Do Less Law. See my Do Less Law blog posts and #DoLessLaw Tweets.

Corporate law departments that want to reduce cost and improve outcomes cannot simply settle for bringing work in-house and lower legal fees. They must practice prevention, improve process, allocate legal resources on a risk-adjusted basis, and apply data analytics to predict outcomes. Efficiency saves some money but avoiding problems saves more.

Below I have assembled a DoLessLaw 2014 recap. The Tweets below, organized into a few categories, offer ideas and comments on prevention and doing less law with better process, big data, and new commercial services. At the end of the post, I have a couple of Tweets that provide links to my 2014 ReInvent Law presentation on this topics, and the Tweet stream about it.

As always, the floor is open in the comments section for other ideas and feedback.
