As legal departments want law firm quality services for less than the traditional cost of those services, managed legal service providers are seeing an opening. Indeed, many have recently moved to offer broader legal services to corporate legal departments, and have found a receptive client base in doing so.

In February, for instance, LawClerk extended the use of its roster of on-demand attorneys from solo and boutique firms to corporate law departments with LawClerk for General Counsel. Additionally, Yerra Solutions expanded into managed services and now deploys attorneys to manage legal departments’ contracts and legal invoices.
