Labor and employment specialist Littler Mendelson wants its new technology-based platform, Littler onDemand, to give clients an alternative to increasing the size of their in-house legal departments.

The platform, to be unveiled Thursday, will use both technology and a team of dedicated ”on demand” counsel to give clients real-time answers to their pressing legal questions.

Littler shareholder Scott Forman, who founded the platform, said it was developed in response to clients who identified the expense of dedicating resources to handle day-to-day human resources expertise as one of their biggest “pain points.”
