Client Need
This company’s lean in-house privacy team was unable to absorb multiple contract remediation projects resulting from a series of major acquisitions. The remediation work involved negotiating new privacy provisions with hundreds of the acquired companies’ counterparties.
Client Solution
The client initially engaged an Epiq Counsel lawyer for six months. As additional acquisitions were completed, the contract remediation work continued to increase substantially so two additional Epiq Counsel lawyers were engaged. All three lawyers are integrated with the in-house department, working closely with the business. The engagements will last until the contract remediation work is complete, which is expected to be more than twelve months.
Why Epiq
Clients engage Epiq Counsel lawyers and legal professionals on an interim basis to cover spikes in workflow or gaps in their department and to reduce their reliance on traditional law firms. Because most Epiq Counsel professionals have prior in-house experience, they bring an in-house orientation and practical approach to a client’s legal challenges.
