What are Global Delivery Centres?
Our Global Delivery Centres deploy the right people and the right technology to get the job done.
Our Newcastle hub has 90 paralegals. In India – across Delhi and Hyderabad – there are 60 professionals.
The Global Delivery Centres* cover a range of capabilities, including data room management, due diligence, e-disclosure, document review, research, drafting documents from precedents, contract summaries, process expertise, jurisdictional surveys and general transaction management.
Together, they provide effective support to Clifford Chance lawyers worldwide.
How do they work?
First, we seek to understand the support a client needs, exploring where and how we can add value. We then design the right combination of people and technology to make sure that the project is delivered effectively.
By doing so, we can add significant value to large-scale, high-volume projects. Our professionals can also handle repetitive tasks such as contract summaries or document reviews. The work of our Global Delivery Centres is always overseen by Clifford Chance lawyers, making sure that it always meets the highest standards.
Key benefits
Our well-established teams have supported our lawyers for more than 10 years, delivering:
Cost-effective support: with our Global Delivery Centres typically able to achieve savings of up to 50%, driven by process efficiencies on large-scale matters.
Business as usual: because our Global Delivery Centres work seamlessly with their Clifford Chance colleagues globally. Our ability to get work done when it's needed means we can meet vital client deadlines.
Scale up at speed: because our Global Delivery Centres can add capacity and take on additional tasks quickly and efficiently, supported by our ability to choose and deploy the most relevant tech solutions.
Draw on a broader range of expertise: because our Global Delivery Centres can provide additional skills and knowledge whenever needed. This also extends to capabilities where our two Global Delivery Centres can collaborate to establish a truly global reach.
Global Delivery Centres in action
When our client needed a defence-critical, 14,000-page bundle reviewed at speed, our Global Delivery Centre team identified the best tech for the task and then completed the review a day ahead of schedule. Our work achieved a 40% cost saving and the use of our Bundledocs tech solution took 30 hours off the time taken to reshape the bundle.
When a New York investment firm needed summaries of circa 300 funds, our Global Delivery Centre team co-ordinated with Clifford Chance's New York office to provide scale at speed. Our solution meant that the average time it took a Clifford Chance associate to review each fund was just two hours, resulting in a time saving for the team of 70%.
