Legal process outsourcing pioneer Elevate has partnered with tech companies, including Dolby, Juniper Networks, and NetApp, to review and modernize processes within the legal function. For example, Elevate found that senior-level Juniper attorneys were reviewing 600 Gifts Travel & Entertainment requests and over 600 Marketing Development Funds per quarter. Elevate helped reduce costs by one-third by creating a new structure where only high-risk matters are escalated for review. Kunoor Chopra, Elevate’s vice president legal services and co-founder, discussed the company’s model and the market reaction to Elevate from clients with The Recorder after being named the LPO of the year as part of the California Leaders in Tech Law and Innovation Awards.
