Outsourcing

To handle the growing need for document collection, processing and review, DuPont Legal has added to its legal network of primary service providers, OfficeTiger, LLC, an R.R. Donnelley Company.

Headquartered in New York, OfficeTiger is a Professional Support Service firm with industry-focused global sourcing solutions. OfficeTiger offers a broad array of litigation support services internationally. It specializes in document review, abstraction, analytics, contract management and intellectual property support.

OfficeTiger also provides teams of onshore and offshore attorneys (and other legal professionals) to collaborate with DuPont’s in-house and outside counsel in assessing paper and electronic documents collected for litigation.

Why the addition of OfficerTiger to the DuPont Legal Network?

• The legal industry has experienced consistent fee inflation since the 1990s. The impact of Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) has further exacerbated the situation with law expenses becoming a cost-focus for companies as its impact grows.
• The DuPont Legal Model was one way of addressing increasing cost—the basis for first generation modern management of outside legal spend that revolutionized the traditional way that in-house counsel and outside law firms do business.
• Another way, historically, has been unbundling of legal services that law firms usually don’t provide. These, for example, may include document collection and review, abstraction, analytics, contract management and intellectual property support services.
