Company
The organization is a leading global banking and financial services institution with a workforce of over 200,000 employees and operations spanning multiple regions. Managing large volumes of contracts, regulatory requirements, and legal processes, the organization’s legal function plays a critical role in ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and operational efficiency.
With increasing complexity in legal operations and regulatory oversight, the organization sought to modernize its legal service delivery through a unified and scalable digital platform.
Challenges
Fragmented Legal Systems and Limited Visibility
The organization’s legal operations were distributed across multiple systems and workflows, resulting in inefficiencies and limited control. The absence of a centralized platform made it difficult to manage legal requests, track evidence, and ensure compliance at scale. Key challenges included:
- Disconnected Systems and Workflows: Multiple ServiceNow instances, including ITSM and custom applications which operated in silos, leading to fragmented processes and inconsistent data.
- Manual and Time-Intensive Processes: Contract management, evidence tracking, and compliance workflows relied heavily on manual effort, increasing turnaround times and operational overhead.
- Limited Visibility and Tracking: The lack of centralized dashboards made it difficult to monitor request status, track progress, and gain actionable insights.
- Scalability and Performance Constraints: Existing systems were not optimized to handle growing data volumes and evolving business needs.
- Regulatory and Security Challenges: Ensuring compliance with strict financial regulations while maintaining secure access to sensitive legal data remained a critical concern.
Goal
To implement a unified Legal Service Delivery (LSD) platform on ServiceNow that streamlines contract management, evidence tracking, and compliance, while enabling automation, real-time visibility, and scalability across legal operations.
By implementing ServiceNow Legal Service Delivery, the organization transformed fragmented legal workflows into a unified, automated system, enhancing visibility, ensuring compliance, and enabling scalable legal operations.
