Winston & Strawn is offering its clients a lower-cost alternative to outsourced legal services that uses attorneys trained by the law firm for more routine legal tasks.
The “right staffing” model will offer legal services related to transactional, litigation and regulatory legal services, according to an April 3 press release from Winston & Strawn.
Services provided include contract management, due diligence, fact development, deposition support, legal research, routine discovery and regulatory compliance.
The lower-cost legal services will be part of Winston Legal Solutions, which will also include Winston & Strawn’s e-discovery, managed review, information governance and trial-support services.
Lawyers delivering the lower-cost legal services will use “established processes, proven playbooks, a state-of-the art technology stack and newer generative AI tools where available and appropriate,” according to the press release.
Law.com’s Legaltech News spoke with John Rosenthal, chair of Winston’s e-discovery and information governance practice, about the the new undertaking.
“Our view is we want to be a full-service provider for our clients, and we want to give them an option with the right talent level at the right price for that work,” Rosenthal said.
Winston Legal Solutions will be staffed with full-time lawyers, but it will also hire attorneys by the project when a particular skill set is needed, Rosenthal told Legaltech News.
Firms are mostly stuck in a “paralegal-associate-partner” model, Rosenthal told the publication. “And I don’t think that model necessarily works for a lot of our clients for certain kinds of work, [where] they don’t want a partner-track associate at $700 an hour.”
