The Glenmont Group Launches Contract Attorney Staffing Services

November 05, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
New York, NY – November 5, 2007 – The Glenmont Group, the New York metropolitan area’s leading provider of legal technology staffing services, announced the addition of contract attorney placement to their portfolio of services for law firms and corporations in New York and New Jersey. Temporary attorneys are primarily utilized for document review, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, litigation support and legal consulting. The new service group will be headed by Kate Potters, co-founder of The Glenmont Group.

This new service is geared toward law firms and corporations faced with large-volume document review projects. As stated in the 2007 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey, electronic discovery is now a $2 billion business that will double by 2009. The amount of electronic data pertinent and subject to review in litigation or compliance is expected to follow this trend. Because of the December 1, 2006 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, corporate legal departments and law firms are feeling the pressure of ensuring they cover all their bases for delivering responsive documents by set deadlines to avoid heavy sanctions. There is an impending need for trained contract attorneys who understand document review in terms of litigation and compliance and The Glenmont Group’s new service fills this need.

“We are excited to be able to provide this new level of support to our clients,” said Kate Potters, co-founder of The Glenmont Group. “Our extensive database of highly talented and qualified individuals will be beneficial to our clients who are looking to add contract attorneys to their firm. These are professionals who do not require any training and can jump right in to get the job done.”

The Glenmont Group takes care of all payroll administration and taxes and only invoices the client for the actual hours worked by the contract attorney. As an added bonus, The Glenmont Group is able to provide a fully equipped project facility in New York City where the work can get done.

“Our goal is to foster long-term business relationships with law firms and corporations who count on us to fill temporary and permanent staffing positions. For this reason, we are continually looking at the market to address future trends so we can provide the best level of service to our clients,” continued Potters.
