The Houston office of one of the ten largest law practices in the world (over 1,400 lawyers in seven U.S. and six European cities and consulting offices in Asia and Mexico) called on us to provide a team of 14 contract attorneys for a project lasting longer than nine months. Our attorneys reviewed documents online at the offices of our client in connection with representation by our client of a major creditor in one of the largest and most highly publicized bankruptcies ever to occur in the United States. Selection of the attorneys for this project included an in-depth screening for all possible conflicts by our client, assisted by our Houston personnel.

When one of our existing clients decided to move her extensive docket of toxic tort cases from a national firm with more than 600 attorneys, to a newly formed litigation boutique, she took 2 of our contract attorneys with her. She asked us to find 7 additional attorneys, 2 law clerks and 3 nurse paralegals to help support her in the move. A year later, six of the attorneys and one of the nurse paralegals are still working with the new firm.

The Chicago headquarters of a sizeable international firm (more than 1400 attorneys located in Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., London, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore) contacted our Chicago office to assist them with a massive document review of plaintiffs’ case files in a huge class action lawsuit.

Our Los Angeles office was contacted by a firm of more than 2,100 lawyers resident in 27 locations and ranking among the world’s largest and most geographically diverse law firms.

Nine of our attorneys worked long hours for 2 weeks to complete the review in a timely fashion.

We are one of three preferred providers of legal staffing chosen by the eighth largest publicly owned energy company in the world. We have been called upon to fill the company’s contract and permanent hiring needs for attorneys, administrators, and legal support staff.

The project lasted for 6 months.

We placed a team of four coders with the company to assist the records group with a document retention project. Our coders worked diligently on the project for four weeks, finishing two weeks ahead of schedule. We have also provided a team of five contract legal assistants to work on-site at the energy company, assisting with an online document review for a large personal injury case. Our permanent placements with the company include a top-notch litigator, recruited from a prominent national law firm, and four carefully selected paralegals with varying areas of expertise.

A New York Stock Exchange listed company engaged in the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas with market capitalization of approximately $2 billion, called us when they were looking for an experienced oil and gas attorney.

Our attorney continued on with the company after the new attorney was hired and was converted to an employee of the company a year after starting work.

We provided support to a litigation boutique in Chicago in connection with a large piece of energy litigation.

The project continued later at the offices of the firm itself.
