Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP) has reorganised its multi-pronged service delivery business, with a new entity to launch this year.
The new service, called BCLP Cubed, will integrate three arms of the firm's delivery systems – complex legal advice, volume legal services and legal operations support – into one.
It will be led by partner Neville Eisenberg as CEO, while chief innovation officer Katie DeBord will head the service's product development team.
The new platform will bring together the firm's volume delivery teams in Manchester and St. Louis, and initially be made up of 150 staff, according to Eisenberg.
He told Legal Week: "We plan on scaling that up and adding to that team as demand for these services grows."
He added that the project had been under development for the last nine months and is due to formally launch in September.
Formerly a commercial litigation partner at legacy Bryan Cave, DeBord said the firms discussed how to combine their respective volume delivery teams when they merged last year.
Speaking to The American Lawyer, she said: "We found that we had all the makings for a full platform that could deliver streams of work through the lifecycle of the matter.
"Clients are in a situation now where they are delegating certain work to alternative providers, and other types of work to technical providers. We said: 'Why can't we bring that all together for clients?'"
With the implementation of BCLP Cubed, the firm aims to standardise and scale up its delivery systems, in a bid to cut costs for its clients while still providing efficient, high-quality services.
Eisenberg was managing partner of legacy firm Berwin Leighton Paisner when the firm launched its alternative delivery service Lawyers on Demand (LOD) in 2007.
Last year, BCLP sold its remaining stake in LOD to private equity firm Bowmark Capital.
