Firms that do not have access to a wholly owned near shore
facility find themselves in the unenviable position of either
completing document review work in-house (with significant cost
implications for their clients) or sending the work off shore (with
data protection and control ramifications).
i-lit Paralegals provides an on-demand, cost effective, legal process
insourcing service that allows document review work to be completed
under the supervision of solicitors, within their own offices.

The Placement Process
All of our paralegals have been interviewed and assessed by us to
ensure that the candidates you interview conform to our standards
which include, but are not limited to:
• Qualifications (LLB, LPC)
• Experience (Document review, PQE)
• Sector experience
• Specific review platform experience
Once we have discussed your needs and agreed a way forward we
will identify the candidates that meet your selection criteria before
sending their CVs to you. You then select the candidates that you
would like to interview and we arrange for those interviews to take
place. This ensures that you have full control of your final delivery
team selection.
Once you have selected your final team a full background check on
individuals can, if required, be commissioned.

8. Our client, a regional law firm, represented an
employer in a claim brought by a previous employee
for wrongful dismissal. The case involved allegations
of a complex fraud committed by the employee.
Proving that the fraud had taken place was going to
take upwards of 3 weeks of lawyer time to examine
and analyse computer records and paperwork.
The value of the claim was such that it was
disproportionate for the lawyer in charge of
the case to complete that work. Needing a
cost effective alternative the firm turned to i-lit
Paralegals to find a suitable candidate who
would quickly grasp the issues of the case and
communicate their findings in a clear, concise but
comprehensive manner.
We provided a selection of candidates for interview
all of whom had been pre-interviewed and pre-
qualified as being suitable for this project. The
successful candidate started work within 3 days of
interview and successfully completed the work on
time and within budget.
Our client, a City law firm, required a team of 9 staff
to complete a due diligence review of the contents of
approximately 5000 leases prior to the acquisition of
a portfolio of freehold properties.
The leases (all of which were in hard copy)
were divided amongst the team before being
analysed for several key pieces of information.
That information was collated on a series of
spreadsheets prior to the spreadsheets being
combined and a comprehensive picture of the
current state of the leases was arrived at.
The request for support was received on the last
working day before the Christmas period. We
successfully resourced the project with appropriately
qualified and experienced staff who were all ready
to work on the first working day of the New Year (a
turnaround of 3 working days).
Our client, an international law firm, was conducting
a piece of litigation on behalf of a global bank. The
e-disclosure process required that approximately
220,000 documents were reviewed and marked up
for relevancy to the litigation on a hosted electronic
document review platform. Initially we provided 20
pre-qualified staff for interview (all of whom had
previous experience of the document review platform
and large scale review exercises) for interview in order
to fill a total of 10 available roles.
On meeting with the candidates our client elected
to increase the size of the team to 15 in order to
effectively utilise the resource available to them (the
5 not offered work were kept on a reserve list in order
provide a contingency should members of the core
team become ill or decide to hand in their notice).
i-lit Paralegals arranged for each of the successful
candidates to have appropriate computer hardware
supplied to them at the clients offices and the work
was completed on time and within budget. Staff from
that project have subsequently been recalled to the
clients offices in order to complete a more detailed
analysis of certain aspects of the case.
Our client, an international law firm, had been
engaged by a company to complete an internal
review of practices to ensure compliance with
various international jurisdiction regulations.
Part of that process involved the review of a large
volume of documentation. i-lit Paralegals provided
a team of 5 staff who were appropriately qualified to
make decisions on the contents of various
different types of documents.
The review looked at a total of 71,000 documents and
was charged using the per document pricing model.
