Data intensive, technology enabled, service provider
Protecting our client’s data is a priority in everything we do, and the eDiscovery team’s approach to Big Data challenges. This includes the creation of bespoke, technology-driven, innovative solutions tailored to our client’s needs.
Case study
Our ALT and Legal Operations teams have recently supported an energy sector client to set up a ‘legal front door’ to optimise the efficiency of their in-house legal function and identify areas for ALT to support on high volume, document intensive, or repetitive workstreams. This was a strategic priority for our client, as understanding the baseline of where legal team member’s time is spent (through analysing data), identified opportunities where technology or innovative processes could be utilised.
This enabled the legal function to focus on higher value work and supported our client's broader transformation projects. We have found that this has increasingly become a key priority for many General Counsels and CLOs facing growing pressure around legal spend and headcount, and also as a result of changing ways of working throughout an organisation's workforce.

How we can support you

Corporate transactions, projects and commercial contracting
Legal technology and data management
We understand the challenges our clients are experiencing with Big Data, particularly when there is a need to capture hard-to-find documents, review large or complex data sets or produce documents to third parties, including counterparties, courts or regulators. These exercises are notoriously time consuming and expensive for in-house legal and compliance teams.
Our ALT technology experts and specialist lawyers work closely together to introduce new ways of working and have developed a range of products, including end-to-end eDiscovery support, contract lifecycle management and cyber incident response.
HSF’s Managed Data Services have been designed to address these challenges. Our managed data service can be tailored to your particular business needs or can be accessed as sub products to meet specific needs.
Disputes, Regulatory & Investigations
Our ALT team have developed a range of products focusing on a broad range of contentious matters and work streams. Ranging from large scale class actions, to regulatory response solutions, to discrete investigations, our team drives time and cost efficiencies for our clients.
Corporate transactions, projects and commercial contracting
Our ALT team, in partnership with specialist teams across the HSF network, have developed a range of products focusing on corporate transactions, projects and commercial contracts to support our clients’ business and resourcing needs.

Case study
HSF recently acted for a Real Estate Investment Trust client in Asia-Pacific. Our client required due diligence completed for its recent retail transaction, acquiring an interest in landmark buildings in Sydney’s CBD. In order for our client to achieve deal completion, we had to execute the due diligence phase in a compressed timeframe.
To achieve this result for our client, we mobilised a large team across HSF, including ALT and the deal team, to review approximately 1,400 lease and associated documents. Our team identified deal-specific red flags and ensured the client was in compliance with all regulatory requirements for the transaction, in a tight, four-day turnaround.

Akshaya Ravi, Head of ALT’s Corporate practice in Australia, discusses the approachable and collaborative nature of the ALT practice and draws upon recent examples of how the ALT practice differentiates from market competitors.
Approachable team, creating commercial solutions
Case study
ALT assisted a client who was looking to repaper a large number of contracts that evolved over the past decade, often many with variations and addendums attached. Rather than conducting a traditional review and collation of versions, we started by brainstorming, as a multi-disciplinary team, on how we could do this differently. We presented a commercial solution to the client by leveraging automation technology and a streamlined process to allow the client to receive a consolidated version of all contracts, providing one source of truth for all our client’s documents and allowing them to be easily updated. The solution was also delivered within a budget that was dramatically less than our competitors could provide.
