Linklaters is to expand its use of paralegals and pilot moving volume legal work outside London as part of a bid to build a lower-cost alternative for clients. The move will see the City giant handle legal work in the Colchester office it currently uses for business support for the first time and will be backed with a deal with outsourcing firm Integreon to supply paralegals to support the venture. The plans form part of a new initiative dubbed Linklaters’ Legal Services Centre (LSC), which will see the magic circle law firm ramp up its paralegal numbers to around 80 across the UK and Germany, up to 30 of which could be based in Colchester for additional cost savings. Linklaters will also continue to employ additional paralegal teams in New York and Brussels.
