Big companies set up site with big firms

E-mail Print PDF
Although there isn't a great deal of detail available, LegalWeek is reporting that a group of large companies has struck a deal with a group of major law firms to set up a shared extranet.

The companies including Cisco, Microsoft, General Motors, Citi and Merrill Lynch will have access to advice and precedents in addition to collaboration facilities such as wikis and chatrooms.

Firms signed up to the service (dubbed Legal OnRamp) include UK's Linklaters, Allen & Overy, DLA Piper and Eversheds and US firms White & Case, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, Morgan Lewis & Bockius and Baker Botts.

The site has been set up by software development company Qulas and appears to work on the business model of allowing law firms to set up a presence for free and then charge them to add additional content.

It's unclear what level of access the companies will have to the firms' precedents and whether any Asia Pacific firms have signed up. If anyone has any more information we'd love to hear about it.
