Bassam Almasri's Company Details

Jordan Associates is the resource for corporate legal departments that want to • Deliver high quality legal services strategically and cost effectively • Structure the legal department to provide the service levels necessary to support the business, meet compliance obligations and manage risk • Select the right outside counsel and implement fee structures for meaningful cost reduction • Minimize the effect of budget and resource cuts on the ability to provide services • Ensure high department morale, job satisfaction and professional development Jordan Associates is headed by Anne Jordan, an attorney who has worked in-house for several corporations, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, with years of experience at the General Counsel and Assistant General Counsel level. During the time she was in-house, Ms. Jordan realized how few resources were available to help in-house departments improve the way they provided services, structured the legal function, and managed the department, or who simply wanted to validate their approach to legal service delivery. Consultants used by other business units typically lack expertise in the legal sector and human resources may not have a deep strength in managing professionals whose performance depends heavily on evaluating subjective rather than objective criteria. Large consulting organizations that offer specific services to legal departments are often not able to have an impact on smaller projects or deliver projects that are targeted to solve a specific problems. Jordan Associates helps legal departments improve performance and extend their influence within their organizations. It works with departments to optimize structure and staffing levels, raise performance, increase client satisfaction, manage budget cuts and sustainably reduce outside counsel and vendor fees. The firm has offices in Chicago, Northern California and Connecticut.
