Alternative Legal Service Providers FAQ
Alternative legal service providers, commonly known as ALSPs, are companies or entities that offer legal services outside of traditional law firms. These providers often leverage technology, process optimization, and innovative business models to deliver legal solutions to clients. ALSPs may offer a range of services, such as document review, contract management, legal research and writing, e-discovery, compliance support, and other legal tasks.
ALSPs differ from traditional law firms in various ways. While law firms primarily focus on providing legal advice and representation, ALSPs concentrate on offering specific legal support services. Unlike law firms that typically charge hourly rates, ALSPs may offer alternative fee structures, making their services more predictable and cost-effective. Additionally, ALSPs are often more agile in adopting technology and process improvements, leading to greater efficiency in delivering legal solutions.
An ALSP and Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) are two different types of service providers in the legal industry. Each offers unique services and solutions to law firms and in-house legal departments. An ALSP refers to a broader category of companies that provide non-traditional legal services, encompassing a wide range of offerings such as legal technology, e-discovery, contract management, and consulting services. ALSPs are known for their innovative approaches, leveraging technology and process optimization to enhance legal operations and drive efficiency. On the other hand, an LPO usually focuses on outsourcing legal processes and tasks, typically to overseas locations.

What are the benefits of using alternative legal service providers?
Businesses stand to gain multiple benefits when employing the services of an alternative legal service provider:
- Cost Effectiveness: One of the most compelling reasons businesses turn to ALSPs is the potential for cost savings. By specializing in specific tasks and using technology to enhance productivity, ALSPs typically provide services at a more competitive rate than traditional law firms.
- Flexibility: ALSPs are known for their adaptability in meeting the unique needs of businesses. Their service delivery models are designed to be scalable and customizable, ensuring that the legal solutions provided align closely with the specific requirements of the business, even as those requirements change.
- Risk Management: By providing resources to handle routine or highly specific tasks, ALSPs allow businesses to manage and mitigate risks more effectively. Their focus on resources for specific practice areas ensures that processes are refined and mistakes are minimized.
- Global Reach: Some alternative legal service providers, like Axiom, have an international presence that allows for global reach and the ability of legal talent to handle tasks with multi-national jurisdictions. This is especially beneficial for businesses with global operations, as they can receive consistent services across different regions.
- Wide Range of Experience: Many ALSPs have lawyers with a wide range of deep experience in different practice areas and who have worked with large law firms in the past. Axiom has 14,000+ lawyers and legal professionals with experience in 14 practice areas.
How are ALSPs different from law firms?
Service Focus
ALSPs typically focus on specific, routine, or high-volume legal tasks like contract management, document review, due diligence, compliance, litigation support, and legal research. ALSPs provide lawyers, legal staff, and consultants to in-house corporate counsels on an as-needed basis.
Law firms offer a broad range of services, primarily focusing on providing legal advice and representation, typically at a higher cost.
Billing Model and Pricing
Alternative legal service providers employ innovative and flexible business models with alternative pricing strategies. At Axiom, you can save significantly on legal costs by only hiring the legal staff you need, when you need it.
Technology
A significant difference between ALSPs and law firms is the utilization of technology. ALSPs heavily leverage technology and remote work to improve efficiency and reduce costs, without sacrificing legal outcomes.
Scalability and Flexibility
ALSPs are highly scalable and flexible. They have the ability to provide talent that can adjust quickly to handle large volumes of work in various practice areas and industries. Law firms are less flexible and often lack the ability to scale for high-volume work.
With a bench of 14,000+ attorneys, Axiom provides unparalleled flexibility and can scale to meet the changing needs of your business. Axiom specializes in high-caliber on-demand legal talent that can help build and oversee a cost-optimized, flexible bench of lawyers designed for the specific needs of any business.
