Jim Rishwain, chair of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, says that the recruitment of the lawyers and of some paralegals and consultants for the back office is ‘another step in the evolution of our business model’. He adds: ’t was always part of our mind-set that over time we’d move legal services to Nashville.’ The lawyers will begin by focusing on discovery, document review and research but might move on to cover IP, corporate and property issues as well. The approach is seen as a way of cutting costs. Source: ABA
