A distinctive part of its service model is SeyfarthLean, which developed from the firm's use of Lean Six Sigma concepts. The approach combines measurement, process improvement, project management, and technology. The firm describes applying these tools to communication, staffing, pricing, and the management of client work.
For students, SeyfarthLean provides a concrete example of practice innovation beyond the adoption of a single technology product. It concerns how a matter is planned and delivered as well as the legal analysis itself. The firm's practice and delivery materials offer complementary views of substantive legal work and the systems used to support it.
