Allen & Overy’s global flexible resourcing platform Peerpoint has launched in the United States as the platform moves to meet the increasingly competitive market for legal talent.
Peerpoint, which was established in 2013 and currently boasts more than 350 lawyers across Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region, last week expanded into the United States. The platform offers “progressive lawyers” alternative career paths and in-house legal teams an alternative solution for high quality, specialized interim legal support backed by the resources of a global law firm.
Its US-based operations will initially operate out of Allen & Overy’s New York office, supporting the global firm’s American clients on domestic and cross-border engagements.
Peerpoint’s US head Amie Davidson said: “With the war for legal talent only becoming more competitive in the US and at a time when many lawyers are reflecting on their careers, working patterns and personal priorities, Peerpoint, as part of Allen & Overy, is excited to offer an alternative career path to meet the needs of a new breed of modern lawyer.”
“For those lawyers looking to leave the traditional law firm or in-house legal environment, we offer the ability to chart their own career course, while still having the support and resources of a global law firm,” she said.
US-based senior partner Tim House added that “Peerpoint is the latest of our Advanced Delivery & Solutions to launch in the US. Peerpoint enables us to connect clients in need of interim resources with high-caliber lawyers, all of whom are vetted, endorsed and supported in their roles by Allen & Overy.”
“It is another example of how we continue to offer increasingly innovative, flexible and impactful legal solutions to our US clients.”
