Accelerating innovation through key executive hires and advancement of core technology platform UnitedLex Vantage

New York, NY – UnitedLex, the leading technology and legal services company, is investing $100 million in Digital Transformation to empower corporate law departments. UnitedLex’s deep commitment to Digital includes foundational investments in executive leadership, technology development, and delivery capabilities. Technology investments include design thinking, software engineering, and product management—resulting in the next generation of UnitedLex Vantage. Complementary investments in world-class talent in the areas of customer experience, change management, and transformation will help accelerate clients’ pathways to an optimized Digital state.

UnitedLex Vantage, a holistic, turnkey platform is purpose built to revolutionize the customer experience and transform the legal function into a first-class digital citizen.

UnitedLex’s client-centric approach is further enhanced by the addition of top-tier executives with diverse technology backgrounds steeped in innovation and transformation.

COVID-19 has served as an accelerant to underscore the imperative of Digital. Today, Digital has become the cornerstone of nearly every business interaction—companies that once considered Digital a part of future strategy are now rapidly advancing adoption plans. Having a true digital mindset will play a crucial role in a company’s ability to not only remain competitive, but to surpass their rivals.

In a time when most firms are scaling down, UnitedLex is leading the industry with significant commitments and the investments to back them up.

“UnitedLex is all in on digital, optimizing the way legal departments work to deliver far greater impact to the enterprise. The role of technology in business is unquestionable, and Digital lies at the center of that ecosystem. While Digital is a necessary evolution for all parts of the business, it is an even greater priority for the law department,” said UnitedLex CEO Dan Reed.

“UnitedLex takes a holistic approach to Digital Transformation that combines revolutionary technology and remarkable talent to accelerate Digital for the world’s most progressive businesses.”
