Using specialized legal staffing to increase capacity, control costs, and drive revenue growth
The Challenge
A major international law firm had engaged with a first-tier financial institution to defend its large-scale portfolio of lawsuits relating to mortgage modifications and foreclosures. The financial institution encouraged our client to charge a flat fee for each claim and, because of this arrangement, our client needed a solution for managing the voluminous portfolio of work without the use of associates.
The Process
Align on Strategy & Needs
Partnered with the firm to understand workload demands, flat-fee structure, and required expertise.
Source & Deploy Talent
Placed experienced Specialized Project Attorneys across key markets and quickly deployed teams based on demand.
Scale & Execute
Scaled teams as case volume fluctuated while supporting claims, drafting motions, and handling court appearances.
The Results
Our ability to deliver qualified Specialized Project Attorneys led to:
- Increased Firm Revenue
- Managed 13,000 loan portfolio cases, driving higher-value work from the financial institution and increasing overall firm revenue.
- Greater Headcount Flexibility
- Scaled quickly when case volume surged. In many instances, Specialized Project Attorneys provided strong experience and made an immediate impact.
- Competitive Advantage & New Client Growth
- Enabled the firm to take on new clients using this established model, which they continue to market. Many firms lack an established approach to handle this type of portfolio work.
- Strengthened Brand Through Top Talent
- The firm has hired several Hire Counsel Specialized Project Attorneys permanently, demonstrating the quality of our candidates and our ability to match both skillset and culture.
