Benefits of the Acquisition

“Our vision at LawScribe was to move beyond traditional "LPO" and be innovative, using technology and a consultative approach to provide clients with the most effective solutions for their business.  With respect to resources, this ultimately meant right sourcing, and not just offshoring.  The merger with UnitedLex provides us a global platform of over 650 professionals and 7 offices, including in the US, UK, Israel and India, and  allows us to take advantage of UnitedLEx's unique combination of strategic insight, deep industry expertise and technology to provide our clients with the best and most effective legal and business solutions”.

Thoughts on the Merger

“I started LawScribe six and a half years ago, so this was the right time to consider a strategic move to take our offerings to the next level”.

The VC Circle reports UnitedLex is backed by India based venture capital firm Helion Venture Partners and Silicon Valley based Canaan Partners. The Indian Business Law Journal (IBLJ) states that LawScribe was actually the first LPO to establish per document pricing for the end-to-end document process. The LawScribe clients include Am Law 100 law firms, Fortune 500 companies and national legal organizations around the globe.

The IBLJ report positions LawScribe at number two in legal support services and UnitedLex in the top five for Intellectual Property, Contracts and corporate services.
