Building on previous successes together, leading global law firm Linklaters and its cutting-edge contract negotiation platform CreateiQ have joined with TLB, a design-focused, legal operations consultancy specialising in legal transformation, to provide a cutting edge offering of holistic solutions, delivered at pace, to address clients’ legal, process and technological needs.

The multi-faceted demands being placed on in-house legal teams mean there is a growing need for outstanding legal advice to be delivered in combination with cutting-edge technology solutions and design thinking-led legal operations advice. This innovative collaboration will provide a wraparound service that supports clients through all stages of their life cycle.

Clients benefit from the unique combination of premium legal advice, TLB’s vast experience in legal transformation, whether through contract optimisation & document playbooks, LegalTech implementation or process and service design, and access to CreateiQ, Linklaters’ proprietary contracting platform.

Greg Baker, Global Head of Practice Innovation:

“I’m really excited about what this pioneering combination will bring to the market - it delivers a fantastic combination of best-in-class solutions into one compelling offering and is an example of the firm’s commitment to an exceptional client experience. We’ve worked alongside TLB in the past and they have a proven track-record in effective legal transformation (including for many of our clients). The combination strengthens each of our existing services and cements our reputation as innovative and forward thinking.”

Shilpa Bhandarkar, CEO of CreateiQ:

“The success of a technology project is as much about the people as it is about the tech. We’re therefore very excited to be working more closely with TLB. With their human-centred approach to legal process optimisation, together we can offer our clients cutting edge tech with the comms, training and change management wrapper that will ensure successful adoption and implementation.”

Electra, CEO and founder at TLB:

“The term ‘legal services’ means so much more than it used to. The rapid evolution we’re seeing in the way people want to consume legal services is indicative of the huge transformation our industry is undergoing. We’re absolutely thrilled to be teaming up with Linklaters and CreateiQ to work with clients who are looking for best-in-class legal, technology and design solutions - this is the future of law and we’re at the forefront.”
