Burgeoning Demand for “Contract” Lawyers by Corporations and Law Firms Drives Tower Growth
Tower Legal Solutions’ Washington, DC office has nearly tripled its real estate footprint. To its current 2,900 square feet of office space at 1212 New York Avenue, the company has added nearly 9,000 square feet of new document review space at 1310 G Street, already open and providing clients with contract legal services.
DC is Tower’s fastest-growing office and its real estate holdings were expanded to keep pace with the demand by its corporate and law firm clients for cost-effective offsite temporary legal staffing and managed review services on document reviews and foreign language translations, in particular.
“Tower’s growth,” says Leslie Firtell, President of this WBENC-certified provider of outsourced legal services, “is driven by the rapidly increasing demand for cost-efficient document review. And,” she adds, “in addition to providing document review space and technology, there is a greater increase in the number of reviews that we are directly managing for our clients. By utilizing our managed review services, we have helped our clients save millions of dollars.”
“This is a growing trend on the part of corporations and law firms,” confirms Raoul Mills, head of Tower’s DC operations. “They turn to Tower as an extremely flexible, creative and cost-efficient supplement to outside counsel — particularly when they face document intensive discovery. Because we staff all types of cases and offer an array of staffing solutions, clients can choose the most cost-effective option without sacrificing quality. Whether Tower provides contract attorneys on a Second Request, investigation or large-scale litigation, clients save a tremendous amount of money, and by adding that extra layer of managed review, Tower further reduces their cost of document review.”
