What is an Alternative Legal Service Provider (ALSP)?
ALSPs are companies that provide legal services outside the conventional paradigm of law firms. Alternative Legal Service Providers (ALSP) use legal technology in order to provide more efficient services. They typically offer a large roster of lawyers with various specialties. ALSP services are typically cheaper than traditional law firms. Alternative Legal Service Providers offer corporations, in-house legal departments, and law firms a way to tap into specific expertise, help in scaling to meet demand, and access to technology they likely wouldn’t otherwise have.
