Chalk up one for the alternative legal services provider. Tyler Langdon is putting down the oven-baked fries and, after eight years of serving as in-house counsel at McCain Food Ltd., heading to Cognition LLP to serve as its eastern affiliate, according to Jennifer Brown in the Canadian Lawyer.
“The Cognition model is one I have come to really believe in,” Langdon told Brown. The Canadian firm is touted as a pioneer in a new legal-services model and one of the country’s first to be comprised entirely of corporate counsel, according to Langdon’s LinkedIn profile, which says, “Cognition does not have a brick and mortar presence; lawyers work either remotely or from clients’ premises individually or in teams as necessary.” Though the firm didn’t have immediate plans for expansion in the easternmost part of Canada, Brown reports that Langdon’s interest in joining initiated the expansion.
