NewLaw firm crosses the Tasman

Only a NewLaw firm would make a statement like this on its website: “We provide top legal talent on call; strategy and continuous improvement consulting; and technology solutions”. This statement is not necessarily noteworthy per se, but the speed with which lexvoco is spreading is truly remarkable.

What really caught my eye was the announcement that lexvoco has entered the New Zealand market. Congratulations to Anthony Wright and the lexvoco team on being the first NewLaw firm to cross the Tasman sea.

It’s worth noting that lexvoco is part of the McInness Wilson Group, which includes a mid-size Australian BigLawfirm that is remaking its business model. McInness Wilson was amongst the first to pursue the remaking journey in this way.

It’s worth checking out lexvoco‘s What we do page which shows a combination of services for companies with and without in-house law departments:

“1.  We provide top legal talent to legal teams when they are under-resourced or there’s a skill gap.

2.  Our legal and management consultants also help with strategy and continuous improvement for legal teams.

3.  We advise organisations who can’t justify employing an in-house lawyer, but they’d like the commercial understanding that comes with an in-house counsel.

4.  We create and build technology, systems and processes to help in-house legal teams.”

lexvoco footprint

If NewLaw firms of the lexvoco variety have footprints, it’s noteworthy that the firm is already operating throughout Australia, countries in Asia, United States, UK, South Africa, UAE, Poland, France, Netherlands, parts of South America – and now New Zealand – after only two years.

Well might one ask, where next lexvoco?
