Legal networking website Legal OnRamp has trebled its users since the summer, with its membership jumping from around 500 to more than 1,600 in three months – 100 of which are summer placement students at US firm Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe.

The site, which provides in-house counsel with free access to major law firms’ precedents, now has lawyers from more than 175 firms and 150 companies signed up. When Legal Week broke news of the venture in June, around 60 law firms and just nine clients had joined.
