Legal Services Centre

Challenge: To prepare the data site, the company had to index, review and profile approximately 6,400 documents, which often contained complex and technical content.

Solution: The team helped the firm complete the VDD report on time. It also seconded a legal professional to provide continuity during the final stages of the sale.

Challenge: The company’s in-house legal team struggled to review and negotiate new commercial contracts on time.

Solution: The LSC worked as an extension of the company’s in-house legal team, embedding a consistent approach to agreements often within a 24 hour turnaround period.

Challenge: The companies needed to arrange the transfer of more than 15,000 trademarks in over 180 jurisdictions.

Solution: We built a software solution to help the companies: understand each jurisdiction’s transfer requirements; identify potential issues; and track progress of specific marks, in real time.

Challenge: The business units included approximately 1,200 commercial agreements, which needed to be novated to the purchasers.

Solution: We coordinated a large team to complete the project within the tight timescale (approximate rate of 250 documents per week). The time internal managers spent on the project was significantly reduced.

Challenge: The regulators were conducting an investigation into potential misconduct by a number of participants in the wholesale foreign exchange trading market, and our client was one of the banks being investigated.

Solution: We coordinated a large team to conduct a review of 350,000 documents and, building on matter experience, expanded our role into other workstreams and drafting analysis, supporting the teams in our other offices.
