OTTAWA, Oct. 5, 2016 /CNW/ - All clients expect their law firms to innovate and collaborate with them in the delivery of practical, cost-effective legal solutions. One area that affords the greatest opportunity for a more nimble service model is capital markets/transactions support. Osler Works - Transactional is a fully staffed and technology-enabled platform that supports our deal teams with a streamlined and consistent set of due diligence and closing-related services for our clients.
"Osler has a history of investing in innovation so we know how to design, test and deliver a new practice model for critical aspects of our business. Our transactions work will always be fundamental to Osler's business. We recruited a core team of specialists to support services such as due diligence, contract analysis, searches, minute books and closings in a manner that is transparent and predictable," says Emmanuel Pressman, Chair of Osler's Corporate Department.
