Steven Walker is the latest member of the alternative legal services provider community to head to the Big Four—specifically as a managing director in Deloitte’s new Legal Business Services practice. The Los Angeles-based legal industry veteran most recently served as managing director and head of law department consulting at Elevate and prior to that served in various capacities as a general counsel at Hewlett Packard.

Both of those experiences will likely come into play at Deloitte, which officially launched its Legal Business Service unit in July. Aims include helping clients navigate, implement and operate innovations related to contract management, regulations, e-discovery and data governance.
