Winning Formula for US Investment Bank
A household name US investment bank required a number of consultant lawyers across a range of practice areas to join on a flexible basis to meet varying demand, project work, and staff leave coverage. Panel firms were unable to meet all of this demand through secondees, internal procurement processes prevented them from using recruitment agencies, and the traditional ALS providers had struggled to source consultant lawyers with the requisite expertise.
Fortunato sourced ten consultants over six months, from highly experienced lawyers with expertise in niche global markets products, to transaction management paralegals. We made significant savings compared to law firm tied ALS offerings, and the feedback on the quality of support has been fantastic.
