Deloitte took another giant step into alternative legal service provider country today with the launch of its Legal Business Services practice. The new initiative looks to build on the company’s existing roster of legal department offerings with the inclusion of such disciplines as contract life cycle management, regulatory consulting, e-discovery and data governance.
To be sure, the Big Four company has been steadily encroaching on the legal world for some time, especially when it comes to technology. Case in point: Deloitte kicked off Legal Ventures, an initiative that traded the organization’s expertise in exchange for access to legal tech startups’ products and services, last December.
