The law is expensive. Outsourcing legal services instead of doing the work in-house can be a great way of getting more done with less money and less strain on your human resources. But how can you be sure you’re getting the quality and responsiveness you need?
PwC’s Managed Legal Services is a range of innovative, expert legal services, processes and technology that gives you both quality and efficiency. The key is getting the interplay between processes, technology and people right.
We help clients simplify and bundle processes to make them as efficient and error-free as possible. Where possible we apply appropriate legal technology to automate workflows and make them scalable. And we provide a single point of contact enabling you to access the expertise you need from our global network of lawyers, business, management and technology specialists. It’s all highly pragmatic and cost-efficient, and tailored precisely to your requirements.

The ideal partner can provide legal support at the level you need in the places you need it. Sometimes you require fail-safe, in-depth expertise in a particular legal niche; at other times you simply want routine legal tasks performed efficiently and cheaply.
