PUNE: Integreon, a company providing high value, complex BPO solutions (also known as Knowledge Process Outsourcing, or judgement-based BPO), specialising in document, content and knowledge services has appointed Matthew Banks as its new member on team. Matthew Banks combines 11 years of experience as a senior international lawyer with two years specific legal outsourcing experience in India.
Matthew Banks will head delivery, strategy and client relationship management for Integreon’s Legal Services, which incorporates award winning legal knowledge and discovery support teams offshore in Mumbai, India and onshore in New York. He will report directly to Integreon’s President and CEO, Liam Brown.
Prior to joining Integreon, Banks was CEO and co-founder of ALMT Synergies, a specialist legal outsourcing company in London, Mumbai and Bangalore, providing high-end legal services to law firms and corporate legal departments globally. Before that he practiced law at two major international law firms, Linklaters and Eversheds, in London.
“We estimate that the addressable market size for outsourced discovery support and LPO services is around $10billion globally including all knowledge support functions (but not practice of law) performed within law firms and corporate legal departments,” said Liam Brown. We are very excited he has chosen to join the Integreon team and we look forward to him leading our fastest growth businesses with a sharp focus on quality and service.”

The centre is believed to be the biggest offshoring initiative ever undertaken by a law firm.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, Integreon has offices in New York, London and Mumbai. Integreon recently completed, a management-led buyout in partnership with Ayala Corporation the largest conglomerate in the Philippines. It also plans to build a service facility in Manila in 2007. |
