About our teams
Allen & Overy Belfast & Perth
We meet the ‘more for less’ challenge with proportionate lower-cost, tech-enabled resourcing and end-to end managed legal services. Our team of high-quality associates and legal professionals use legal tech to help clients manage everything from large-scale document reviews and complex repapering exercises to end-to-end contract review and negotiation support. Our close integration with other A&O teams reduces risk and ensures we provide efficient services to the highest of standards.
LegalTech
We champion the adoption of technology across the legal sector. We provide best-in-class tools, great training, bespoke solutions and technical experts to resolve legal, regulatory and deal-related challenges. We help surface new ideas and reimagine lawyers’ day-to-day work, streamline caseloads, drive collaboration and achieve better results. In a world that provides opportunity and challenge in equal measure, we help capitalise on the trend of the ever-changing.
Project management
We support the seamless delivery of the most complex projects. We’re dedicated legal project managers that mobilise and coordinate our own and our client teams, together with external counsel and global advisors, to deliver on time and on budget. We also provide training, best practice and toolkits on the fundamentals of good project management. As projects become more global and more challenging, we’ll ensure you can plan, execute and review efficiently.
Case study
Conducting a detailed international survey across 170+ jurisdictions on the provision of a financial institution’s wealth management services to corporations and their employees.
Challenge: The project’s scale and international reach, the number of jurisdictions it covers and their respective regulations, coupled with the very large number of external counsel firms involved.
Solution: AD&S provides end-to-end project management, helping the financial institution produce risk ratings in a clear, data-centric format. A dedicated project manager and lower-cost Belfast team work together to efficiently manage and coordinate the large-scale submission and review process, underpinned by HighQ Collaborate (an advanced data room platform) enabling real-time status updates, data analysis and access to final survey responses.
