Following last week’s massive news that Big Four firm, EY, had acquired the 1,000-strong Legal Managed Services (LMS) arm of Thomson Reuters, there remains one big question: what is EY’s strategy? Artificial Lawyer spoke with EY’s Global Law Leader, Cornelius Grossmann, to find out.

Grossmann explains: ‘This allows us to immediately scale up our LMS. We did Riverview, but didn’t have scale. It was still comparatively small. We said we would scale up. And we have.’
