UnitedLex, a leading data and professional services company specializing in litigation, intellectual property, contracts, compliance, and legal operations, and Haleon, a global leader in consumer health with brands trusted by millions of consumers, have been recognized as 2023 ACC Value Champions. Presented by the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), this prestigious award recognizes the collaboration between the two organizations to optimize Haleon’s legal department operating model, maximize its productivity, and elevate internal stakeholder experiences.

“UnitedLex worked with us to build and implement a Contracting Center of Excellence that was a first-of-its-kind in terms of sheer scale and complexity of tasks managed throughout the organization,” said Bob Mignanelli, VP & COO Legal, Haleon. “We are honored to be recognized for the co-creation of a data-centric ecosystem that learns, adapts, and expands with the business to create measurable value.”

The ACC Value Champions is a unique recognition program that identifies, celebrates, and publicizes successful law department collaborations.

• Ways of working: Best practice processes and workflows for interacting with internal and external partners resulted in ~40% faster response times to business partners.
• Automation and enablement: Elimination of routine tasks and accelerated business impact through AI-enabled self-service, triage, and workflow resulted in 30% capacity creation.
