Suffolk University Law School is partnering with Integreon, a provider of legal process outsourcing services, to give students a paid opportunity to gain work experience delivering legal services to corporate clients under supervision of Integron’s legal experts. 

Students will work on due diligence contract review, legal spend analytics projects, large-scale document review and other types of projects Other examples will include electronic discovery and managed document review; legal research and legislative tracking; due diligence for mergers and acquisitions; contract review and drafting; compliance program support.

The program will be housed in a dedicated and secure on-campus 30-seat delivery center with state-of-the-art training facilities. Integron will train students and the students will then be eligible for internships at any of Integreon’s delivery centers.

“Suffolk Law has been at the forefront of innovation in legal education for quite some time, both in terms of its focus on practical training and attention to legal services delivery in an evolving legal marketplace. The school was the obvious choice for Integreon in our search for a partner for this program,” said Mark Ross, global head of legal process outsourcing at Integreon. “Our partnership with Suffolk offers our clients yet another compelling legal service delivery model here in the U.S., and one which also helps train the next generation of lawyers.”

Suffolk University Law School Dean Andrew Perlman said: “We’re thrilled about this partnership with Integreon and, by extension, the involvement of their current and future corporate clients. Suffolk Law is committed to ensure that its graduates have the skills necessary to thrive in the twenty-first century, and this partnership will provide our students with an invaluable opportunity to develop those essential skills.”

The launch of the Client Services Innovation Program represents the culmination of almost two years of active engagement between Suffolk and Integreon. Suffolk broke the traditional mold of legal education in 2013 when it established its Institute on Law Practice Technology and Innovation, with Perlman serving as the founding director. The Institute is governed by an advisory board of legal industry leaders that includes Integreon’s Ross. The Institute’s current director, Suffolk Law Professor Gabe Teninbaum, assumed the post when Perlman became dean.  

While serving as the inaugural director of the Institute, Perlman also created a Legal Technology and Innovation Concentration, which teaches students how to leverage technology and innovative methods to deliver legal services successfully in the 21st century. brings The students in this concentration will be among the core pool of students expected to receive training in the Client Services Innovation Program.
