How SHEIN moved from spreadsheets to strategic spend control with Legal Tracker
External counsel costs are on the rise. For large in-house teams managing legal spend at million-dollar volume, poor visibility is a financial risk. Unreliable spend forecasts, undetected overbilling, and manual reporting are still the administrative norm.
Join Thomson Reuters and Marty Chao, Senior Legal Counsel at SHEIN, for a candid discussion on what it took to move from a legal data black-box to full legal spend & matters control — and see how Legal Tracker's AI agents, trained on over $310 billion in global legal spend data, are helping in-house teams deliver the visibility the business has been asking for. .

Who should attend
In-house legal teams and legal operations leaders looking to move from reactive spend management to strategic operational control.
- General Counsel and CLOs accountable for legal spend, governance, and demonstrating the function's value to the business
- Legal Operations managing external counsel panels, invoice review, and matter budgets across multiple jurisdictions
- Finance and Compliance stakeholders who need audit-ready data and real-time visibility into legal spend
- Regional teams across APAC managing external counsel across multiple jurisdictions, billing formats, and languages
Why this matters now
Large in-house legal teams are under pressure to run legal as a business function: controlling rising external counsel costs, justifying spend to finance, and producing audit-ready reports on demand.
Most are managing it with tools that were not built for the job. Spreadsheets, email chains, manual approvals with no real visibility until costs have already escalated.
Legal Tracker was built to change that. In this session, you will see what that looks like in practice.
What you will see
- Gain clearer visibility into legal spend and matter performance
- Identify cost drivers and billing irregularities faster
- Reduce manual invoice and PDF handling
- Improve adherence to billing guidelines and governance standards
- Generate faster answers and insights from legal data
