Two heads are better than one—a sentiment that may doubly apply to the combination of legal and technology needs that are continuing to arise in the financial services industry. But the variety of institutional knowledge and process-oriented skills required to solve challenges facing the financial industry may be too great for firms, even ones developing innovative technology, to handle alone.  

Case in point: Last week, Dentons and business process management provider eClerx Markets announced they were entering into a partnership that would combine the law firm’s legal expertise with eClerx’s technology to meet financial services client needs around data extraction, document digitization, document negotiation, customer outreach and legal expertise.
