Case Study: International Natural Resources Company reduces legal fees with Epiq’s Simplex Legal support

International Natural Resources Company Receives Legal Support and Reduces Legal Fees on Key M&A Transaction

The International Natural Resources Company, a Canadian energy firm, faced the challenge of managing a complex, multijurisdictional $2.5+ billion acquisition. They required extensive legal support for due diligence, antitrust preparation, and financing, needing to scale their team without incurring prohibitive costs. They turned to their vendor, Epiq, for a solution utilizing the services of its affiliated independent law firm, Simplex.

Epiq, through Simplex, provided a team of four lawyers to support the client throughout the acquisition and subsequent antitrust compliance work. This solution allowed for uninterrupted operations during the transaction and continued support afterward. The long-standing partnership, which spans over a decade, resulted in a 50% reduction in the client's legal fees, providing a highly cost-effective solution for their complex in-house legal needs.
