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.”
