Case study
Regular research across worldwide jurisdictions & legal database update for a Fortune 500 company
A Fortune 500 company required specific new research across worldwide jurisdictions on a regular basis as well as the update of its legal database. When reaching out to Kalexius, the client wanted to increase the team’s efficiency while bringing down the costs of outside counsel. The existing team was spread across the world, in different time zones.
SOLUTION
Kalexius was initially engaged to run an internal audit of the legal research function. As part of the audit, Kalexius conducted workshops, mapped requirements and processes, reviewed expenses and produced detailed recommendations to improve existing structures and methodologies.
Further to the audit, the client decided to transfer the existing team to Kalexius.
The team works hand in hand with the client’s teams to provide the best service.
At the Client’s request, the Kalexius team worked directly on the client’s platform and leveraged Kalexius’ project management tool to increase its efficiency.
A quality assurance plan was designed with the client to monitor quality and improve the level of service.
OUTCOMES
Building on the team members’ expertise, Kalexius grew the team and has been a service provider to the client for years.
Kalexius worked on new processes, which included documenting legal research and legal update work in order to increase transparency and capacity planning. This resulted in an increase to the team’s efficiency: turnaround time for new legal research became predictable and the team is able to work under less pressure, which has a positive impact on team morale.
The legal research and legal update methodology was reviewed in order for the team to retain control of the product delivered. This led to a significant drop of outside counsel costs.
The client has access to the team’s work schedule, providing visibility on the progress of the work and allowing for an easy scheduling of future assignments.
KEY FACTORS
Kalexius was given full access during the audit phase and then full responsibility for delivering the research service as an outsourced provider.
All employees were rebadged as Kalexius staff, which allowed us to fully implement our vision, corporate culture and process-driven approach to the service.

Kalexius integrated with the client’s organization and technology so as to avoid any disruption.
The client retained visibility of all operations performed by Kalexius through access to ongoing work items and regular reporting.
