The Glenmont Group and Lexakos Form Strategic Alliance

New York — February 9, 2007 – Organizations struggling to identify managers qualified for e-discovery and records management policy development received a big boost today when premier legal-tech recruiter The Glenmont Group and business advisory firm Lexakos announced a strategic alliance to augment the availability of trained professionals in this new area. Blending their respective strengths in executive placement and corporate governance, this alliance will help fill a gaping hole for organizations struggling to find managers who can oversee internal controls for handling electronically stored information for legal and regulatory purposes.

"Corporations are saddling the law department with records management and e-discovery duties, but lawyers do not have the time, budget or training for enterprise content management, an area most organizations have largely ignored until now. I am excited to partner with a top specialized recruiting firm to help identify and train qualified managers for our clients on a temp-to-perm basis,” says Lexakos Founder, Rick Wolf.

“According to our members, a significant number of general counsel are focusing on improving their companies’ approaches to records management in 2007,” says Steven Williams of the General Counsel Roundtable, “but they are really struggling to coordinate the legal, compliance, IT and operational components of an effective records management program.” The Lexakos-Glenmont alliance will enable organizations to coordinate the cross-functional challenges of an effective records management program.

The Glenmont Group sees a shortage of managers qualified to lead the e-discovery function. To address the problem, they are collaborating with Lexakos to find new leaders and participate in a special continuing education lecture series on talent acquisition and professional planning for law firms and corporations to help realize emerging market trends and needs. The Glenmont Group and Lexakos are active participants in the 2007 Electronic Discovery Reference Model project (www.edrm.net), building new standards and guidelines for the burgeoning e-discovery industry.

The Glenmont Group is a boutique search firm focusing on high-level placement within the legal technology arena, for law firms, corporations, consulting groups and vendors nationwide. The Glenmont Group has recently been concentrating on the growing cohesion between technology and its daily application in the practice of law.

Lexakos LLC is a business advisory group that specializes in records management policy deployment, litigation management and business conflict resolution for corporations, law firms and other organizations.
