NEW YORK, Jun 25, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Canon Business Process Services, a leading provider of managed services and technology, today announced it provides outsourced document management and electronic discovery services to 64 of the Am Law 200 firms. This includes four of the top 10 firms and eight of the top 20 firms. The recently-released Am Law 200 list, published annually by ALM Media Properties, ranks the top U.S. law firms according to gross revenue.
"In today's legal market law firms are looking to be more operationally efficient, cost effective and to better prepare their clients to meet discovery and compliance requirements," said Elizabeth Halaki, chief marketing officer and R&D, Canon Business Process Services. "We are helping Am Law 200 firms meet these goals by implementing advanced document management and eDiscovery best practices that can enable them to maintain their leadership and succeed in the days ahead."
As an example of the value Canon Business Process Services provides, leading law firm Lewis Brisbois LLP saw an opportunity to work with Canon on a complex eDiscovery challenge. Due to a pending litigation, Lewis Brisbois was tasked with collecting more than a terabyte of potentially relevant information contained in electronic client documents. Lewis Brisbois teamed with Canon to implement an efficient workflow for document review using Canon's CaseData(R), a Web-based document review tool. This new workflow combined with other document review techniques and data collection activities enabled Lewis Brisbois LLP to reduce total legal costs connected with the case. These costs, which include legal motions, depositions and trial preparation, resulted in significant savings when compared with the firm's traditional workflow for reviewing documents of similar volume.
Besides working with legal industry leaders, Canon Business Process Services itself is a recognized leader. The company was recently ranked in the Leaders Category of the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals' (IAOP) 2013 Global Outsourcing 100 list for the past seven years in a row. The company's official ranking is 36 within the list of 75 Leaders.
