PANGEA3 LLC

Lost in translation? More like “gained in translation,” according to the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS), which interviewed Pangea3 Vice President and Managing Director of Litigation Solutions, Greg McPolin.

In the interview, Greg lauds the top talent that Pangea3 attracts in Mumbai and Delhi from the nation’s best law schools as the key to our success. In Greg’s words, Pangea3 employees are “dedicated,” “conscientious” and “passionate.”

Pressed on why top law school grads choose Pangea3, Greg notes that Pangea3 offers a dedicated career path, a team-centric environment, and the opportunity to interact directly with corporate legal departments and law firms around the globe. Moreover, Greg touts the western-based meritocracy by which Pangea3 operates, allowing employees to advance and excel based on their hard work and dedication. With offices in India’s capital city and most cosmopolitan city (Delhi and Mumbai, respectively), Pangea3 has built a wonderful brand and reputation using the best people, processes and technology culminating in the top quality that Pangea3 clients expect.

But, this story doesn’t begin and end in India. Greg discusses the attractiveness of the legal process outsourcing industry to law school grads in the United States entering a “global,” “innovative,” and “disaggregated” legal industry. For U.S. attorneys who want to be at the forefront of change, and perhaps experience the Indian growth story, Pangea3 offers legal positions in the exciting, fast-growing, LPO industry.

And, lawyers and clients in the U.S. don’t have to move to India to be a part of this story. With a new facility in Dallas, Pangea3 has a domestic base to handle sensitive documents, such as those governed by the export control regime, as well as bolster the 24/7 support that clients expect. And, there is a level of comfort in knowing that you don’t have to leave home to get the top quality services Pangea3 provides.

What’s on lawyers’ minds when they think about litigation management and associated strategies and tools? The “State of Litigation Management” report, recently released by LexisNexis, sheds light on current beliefs and attitudes held by both corporate and law firm attorneys.

The overview:

• Balancing large amounts of data against budget limitations remains a critical concern.
• Alternative fee arrangements (AFAs) are viewed as important by both corporate and law firm attorneys – and establishing pricing remains the biggest challenge.
• Keeping up with technology is a big issue for both corporate counsel and law firm attorneys, with younger lawyers showing greater interest in staying on top of new developments.
• Legal technology is vital to case analysis – primary examples include accessing data from mobile devices and using technology to organize key documents.

Some details about addressing these challenges:

• 53% of lawyers in firms and corporations find the “review” and “identification” phases of e-discovery to be the most time-consuming.
• 30% of attorneys in large firms “hire third-party vendors” and 20% “hire people” to manage the costs of e-discovery in 2011.
• 86% of lawyers do not consider outsourcing to overseas for e-discovery review as the biggest issue facing the legal industry today.
• 64% of attorneys want to see case analysis tools integrated with litigation document management.
