2009 Annual Review – What We Accomplished in 2009

Our Legal Outsourcing Support From India

Cross-Border and U.S. Legal Services -
Our Track Record

Our track record over the 15 years of our existence speaks volumes for the level of trust we have gained from major name-brand enterprises as well as respected emerging and mid-market companies. Examples of our client relationships and projects >>

Two key factors set our practice apart. First, having held senior in-house international positions with major multinational corporations, we are accustomed to participating in practical business decisions, living within budgets and managing and controlling the legal aspects of international projects. Such in-house positions demand an ability to cost-effectively tackle challenges across multiple countries and regions based on a "toolkit" of cross-border skills (more on this below).

Second, having lived and practiced law in more than one world commercial center (including Seoul, London, Paris, Geneva, New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo), we know that differences in business customs, political climates and cultural practices demand more than the conventional legal services provided by domestic lawyers. Each of our grounding in at least two world markets and ongoing work in many allows us to continually refine our toolkit of skills. Our geographic coverage – emerging markets and beyond  >>  

. . . such experience has also made us more effective counsel for U.S. corporate and commercial projects where the only borders crossed are those that separate cities and states.

Our Costs are Compelling, and Our Track Record Makes Us a Sensible Choice

Frustration with large-firm billing rates has caused our message to resonate now more than ever, especially in these recessionary times when in-house counsel are under great pressure to reduce their legal budgets (and our colleagues in other law firms can cost-effectively retain our services to add great value to their clients)

With a client roster that has included Motorola, Samsung Electronics, Borders Books, The Sports Authority and Merge Healthcare, and given a legal market more accustomed to legal service providers outside of the largest law firms, we offer a real choice – a cost-effective alternative to the global law firm

Our rates? We will work with you on project-based billing or periodic fees for a defined range of services, though we don’t mind telling you that our hourly rates are in the low-$300 range for our US-based senior team members

• India Legal Outsourcing Support. Our experience in extracting the best information for the least cost from local legal counsel on a worldwide basis, and our particular experience with India, has led us to partner with a leading legal process outsourcing organization in India to integrate Indian back-up support into our own projects, such as our Global Contracts Initiative, as well as to help our clients achieve greater cost savings for legal research, litigation-related document review and other support areas.

• Counsel "Secondment" Program. Our experience in supporting major enterprises has led us to offer our Counsel Secondment Program. At very attractive rates, this program offers one of our attorneys on a weekly basis, either offsite or onsite, to companies able to commit to a modest period of engagement.
