AM Law 100 Firms Embracing LPO?

In a recent post, I wrote that Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP announced an integrated discovery management offering in alliance with multiple LPO vendors (See LPO Industry Consolidation Underway?).  In addition to influencing potential LPO industry consolidation, the alliance is important because it is one of the first public acknowledgements from an AM Law 100 Firm that legal process outsourcing is a viable option for sophisticated buyers of legal services.  (Integreon CEO Liam Brown affirmed and amplified this point on the Integreon blog in a response to my post.) 

On Friday (February 12^th), AM Law 100 Firm Mayer Brown weighed in.
