Another great article over at Above the Law regarding the shrinking of 'BigLaw' legal teams to bolster profits and reduce overhead. It comes just in time, as I happen to have lunch today with some potential referral partners from a local/national onshore document review company. (Shall remain nameless until we sign paper :)) Regardless, this is what Platinum IDS is all about. It's a perfect fit for Platinum's innovative offering.

For example, take Hybrid Hosting: We allow a firm of any size to bolt into a Tier3 infrastructure and basically stand up their own litigation support department in minutes, not months. We fade into the background and disappear completely when we're not needed and light up like the 4th of july when we are.

Dear BigLaw, consider downsizing legacy internal band-aid non-colaborative document review solutions and find savings, collaboration, compliance, confidence and security supported by the best Litigation Support team ever created.. Come to where the flavor is. Come to Platinum country. :) You'll be glad you did. We'll even manage your review.

Now, back to that great article over at ATL:

Back in 2011, we wondered if on-shore outsourcing was the Biglaw wave of the future. Given the recent cavalcade of “adjustments,”“reductions,”“reorganizations,” and “eliminations” affecting staff headcount at firms across the country, we think our prediction may be coming to pass.

These days, despite news of record numbers in terms of gross revenue, it seems we can’t even make it through one week without news of layoffs coming from within Biglaw’s hallowed halls. In fact, last week brought even more lamentable news from large law firms (on top of thedouble-digit IT outsourcing at one top firm).

Thanks ATL!
