Case Study: a large government agency achieves immediate support for complex IP work with Epiq Counsel

Epiq Counsel Supports a Law Department in Transition

The client, a large government agency, faced a significant challenge when a shift in its intellectual property strategy created a surge in patent and licensing work. With its lengthy internal hiring process, the law department required immediate interim support to manage the new workload. They engaged Epiq and its Epiq Counsel service for a solution.

Epiq implemented a team of two patent lawyers and one paralegal from its Epiq Counsel service, who were fully integrated into the agency's departments. This provided the client with immediate support for complex work. The Epiq solution was an efficient and cost-effective way to increase capacity until permanent hires were made, with the Epiq team also tasked with training and transitioning work to the new in-house employees.
