Addition to leadership team reflects Epiq’s position as the world’s largest Alternative Legal Service Provider
Epiq, a global technology-enabled services leader to the legal industry and corporations, announced today that Nicole Giantonio joined its Legal Solutions business as Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. In her new role, Giantonio will drive awareness of Epiq Legal Solutions as the market’s most comprehensive global Alternative Legal Service Provider (ALSP).
“Incorporating legal services and technology into the business of law is no longer alternative,” Giantonio said. “Today, law departments and firms are working with ALSPs as a standard practice. Epiq supports corporate and law firm clients with a full range of people, process, and technology. My immediate focus will be promoting Epiq Legal Solutions business and advocating the advantages of a well-executed legal operations strategy.”
Giantonio joins Epiq after five years at law company Elevate, most recently as CMO. Before Elevate, she was an executive, leading global outsourcing revenue growth for companies, including ADP and Ceridian. In addition, Giantonio produced and authored one of the first legal podcasts, LeftFoot, from 2015 to 2019.
“Epiq Legal Solutions is driving significant innovation, changing the way that lawyers, law firms, and companies do business so they can meet near-term challenges and plan for a digital, technology-enabled future,” said Roger Pilc, President of Epiq Legal Solutions. “With the addition of Nicole to our senior leadership team, we aim to strengthen our brand within the market, analyst community, and most importantly with prospective and current clients as the premier provider of third generation ALSP solutions.”
The legal industry is experiencing opportunities and challenges related to growing litigation and regulation, new technologies, and cost pressures. Epiq has executed its vision of Legal Service Management with a comprehensive set of best-of-breed offerings allowing corporate and legal departments to manage better outcomes across litigation, regulatory and compliance, commercial and contracts, mergers and acquisitions, and legal operations.
Central to enabling Legal Service Management is the Epiq Service Cloud, a state-of-the-art secure private and public cloud-based infrastructure that leverages cutting-edge data management and analytics, artificial intelligence, automation, workflow, and digital technologies. It uniquely synthesizes people, processes, and technology together into one cohesive framework and orchestrated service delivery operation. The approach makes all legal data accessible and actionable, so General Counsel and the firms that advise them can see where they need to direct or optimize legal work and resources. With this innovative approach, today Epiq is the largest ALSP and the third generation ALSP leader.
