Am Law 100 firm Winston & Strawn unveiled Winston Legal Solutions, a novel, cost-effective staffing model tailored to manage low-complexity and routine legal tasks. This venture aims to further extend the firm’s existing e-discovery, managed review, information governance, and trial support services. By integratng firm-trained attorneys, established processes, and advanced technology, Winston Legal Solutions seeks to offer a comprehensive response to clients’ cost concerns. Organizations across all sectors will have the ability to leverage these services henceforth.
When discussing this innovation with Legaltech News, John Rosenthal, chair of Winston’s e-discovery and information governance practice, emphasized that clients have evolved into sophisticated consumers of legal services. He noted a significant trend among clients and the legal market towards right-staffing within law firms, a move that goes beyond the traditional “paralegal-associate-partner” model. The new venture plans to leverage advanced technology, established legal procedures, and generative AI tools, a blend hoped to put forth an appealing alternative to the existing outsourced legal provider marketplace.
