Integreon Opens Onshore LPO Delivery Centre in Bristol

The Industry’s First Centre of its Kind Addresses the Growing Demand for Onshore Legal Document Review, Contract Management and M&A Due Diligence Services

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Integreon, the largest global provider of integrated legal, research and business solutions, today announced the official opening of its legal process outsourcing (LPO) onshore UK delivery centre. The facility in Bristol, which Integreon believes is the first of its kind in the UK, will provide Integreon’s clients with a full suite of LPO services, including document review, contract management, merger and acquisition (M&A) due diligence and compliance support – all with the rigorous processes and proven, high-quality standards for which Integreon is known. With its Bristol delivery centre, Integreon is the only major LPO provider that can offer UK clients both onshore and offshore LPO support.

“The passage of the Legal Services Act signalled the start of a new era in the delivery of legal services here in the UK”

“As the delivery of legal services evolves, it’s clear that most law firms and corporate counsel require a mix of onshore and offshore support”, said Janet Taylor-Hall, Global Head of Legal Process Outsourcing at Integreon. “Although cost is clearly a significant driver in determining the choice of location, there are many other forces at play, including ethical and legislative restrictions, complexity of the task at hand, familiarity with a client’s particular legal system, amount and type of communication required, project duration, client comfort with a location, time zone preference and language skills. Some outsourced services are best delivered from an onshore facility.”

The Bristol facility will provide Integreon’s law firm and corporate clients with the support services they need to help reduce costs and more easily scale their operations from a location that meets UK Data Protection Act requirements and provides UK clients with an alternative to offshoring.

The legal support professionals at Integreon’s Bristol delivery centre include lawyers and paralegals with expertise in a wide range of disciplines, including banking, M&A, litigation and commercial property. Employees at the new Bristol centre will also provide services in multiple languages, including Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Turkish.

“The passage of the Legal Services Act signalled the start of a new era in the delivery of legal services here in the UK”, added Taylor-Hall. “Our corporate legal department and law firm clients will increasingly be asked to function with efficiency and a focus on bottom-line results. Our new centre in Bristol marks yet another way we are addressing this new paradigm and providing our clients with the resources they need to achieve even greater success.”
