As legal technologies becomes more complex, many law firms and legal departments have come to expect legal and IT support as part of the package. For some technology providers, this means expanding their own in-house capabilities to include consultancy and support offerings. For other, it means entering partnerships with outside companies.
It’s rare, however, for two companies to connect for a partnership at the magnitude of what HBR Consulting and LexisNexis announced last week. On April 3, the companies announced Managed Technology Services LLC (MTS), a venture that will be jointly operated by HBR and LexisNexis. The new offering will utilize LexisNexis technologies and data hosting capabilities, while HBR provides a strategy element to help with implementation.
