As the largest pension fund by assets in the UK, the legal team at Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) answers to a different kind of shareholder than most enterprises. Every pound spent on outside counsel is meticulously examined to ensure USS can deliver on the promise to its members who rely on USS for their future financial security.  

How does USS rise to this challenge given such strict scrutiny? 

USS uses the twin levers of matter inception and managing the work in process to flip the prevailing model of firm engagement on end. 

By starting at matter inception and then tracking the work while in progress, USS better aligns with firms on scope and fees throughout the life of the engagement. This simple but profound approach has helped the USS legal team realize significant savings while delivering predictability and transparency for the business and for the firms USS works with.
