AMA - Keeping Your Legal House In Order

Marc writes:

I'm a real estate asset manager and developer with operations across Alberta, Quebec, and Ontario. I’m contemplating centralizing our legal operations to not only streamline communication but also consolidate all our legal documents into a single internal database, instead of having them scattered across different legal teams.  I'm thinking of employing an internal paralegal to work with external lawyers, similar to our model of using internal bookkeepers with external accountants. What advantages or complications could arise from such a centralized approach? How might this affect the efficiency and quality of legal services we receive?  Any thoughts in general?
